Welcome to Oklahoma Gardening!

Thinning out Carrots
Host Casey Hentges has a lot of carrots sprouting up in her container and needs to thin them out to ensure that she gets a better harvest later this spring.

Grafting Vegetables
Small farm horticulture Extension specialist Bizhen Hu tells us the importance of grafting and why this technique is used in gardening. She also demonstrates how to incorporate grafting at home.
