Everything is coming up roses today with curator Clair Martin, who will guide us through the very special Huntington Botanical Rose and Perennial Garden located in San Marino, California. Covering 3 ½ acres, it was first planted in 1908 and currently displays over 1,200 cultivars arranged historically from ancient to modern times. Call John, Sharon, Bryan or Clair with your gardening questions at

Be sure to tune in this morning because tomato guru Steve Goto will give us the scoop on the tastiest, hardiest and best varieties for eating them fresh, fried, stewed, sauteed or canned. From Oasis Water Efficient Gardens, Bob Reidmuller will talk about a firebird that is not from Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, but is almost as spectacular in the garden - the Aloe hybrid 'Firebird'.
