On NorthEATS Indiana, you hear about a variety of topics related to food in Northeast Indiana. We’ve covered crops, urban farms, and now we’ll take a look at growing food on a smaller scale: in your own backyard.

WBOI’s Lisa Ryan speaks with Ricky Kemery, who runs the Allen County Master Gardener program, about how to start a garden.

The second part of the interview talks about some of the challenges of growing in Northeast Indiana, and what crops are easier or harder than others.
