Ask the garden experts

Sunset Garden editor Kathy Brenzel answered a lot of questions about edibles in the Garden Booth this year.

Garden writer Sharon Cohoon noticed a big interest in citrus and wasn't surprised. "They're handsome, you can grow them in pots, and they're edible!"

Yellow leaves on citrus and tomatoes are a common concern, Sharon said. "But it's early, and it's been cold ― they will probably be fine." Peppers not flowering yet? It's early days.
