KZNA-FM 90.5 serving northwest Kansas is operating at just 10% power using a back up transmitter while work continues to install a new transmitter. It is hoped that this work will completed on Thursday with KZNA back to its full 100,000 watts of power with a state of the art transmitter to serve the area for many years to come.
If you can't receive KZNA at its reduced power, you can listen via the digital stream directly above or on the HPPR mobile app. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

Growing on the High Plains: Managaing Microgreens

By Skip Mancini
Published October 21, 2021 at 9:15 AM CDT

The weather is cooling, so why not take the gardening indoors? Today's installment covers the basics of starting your own plot of microgreens from the comfort of your own home!

This time of year can be challenging for High Plains gardeners, as we bid our summer plots farewell to welcome the incoming Fall weather. Today's Growing on the High Plains shares about a new endeavor for me: growing a mini-farm of countertop microgreens. It'll keep the greens coming while the air turns chilly. Why not try it yourself?

Also, this week's episode airs during HPPR's Fall Membership Campaign. We celebrate having public radio access in our region all week, which is only possible because of listeners like YOU. If you're not tuned in to HPPR's High Plains Morning today, do it now! I'll be giving away a HARVEST BASKET, chock full of garden goodies for one lucky winner. Thanks for keeping HPPR strong with your gift of support! Call 1.800.678.7444 or click here to give online. A pledge in any amount means you're ENTERED TO WIN!

Years ago Skip Mancini left the rocky coast of Northern California to return to her roots in the heartland. Her San Francisco friends, concerned over her decision to live in a desolate flatland best known for a Hollywood tornado, were afraid she would wither and die on the vine. With pioneer spirit, Skip planted a garden. She began to learn about growing not only flowers and vegetables, but hearts and minds. If you agree that the prairie is a special place, we think you'll enjoy her weekly sojourns into Growing on the High Plains.
