  • Much appreciated and anticipated

    While I still enjoy the podcast, please find someone in addition to Christy Page for “the last word” segment. I stop listening when I get to her. How about asking the listeners for submissions?

  • Native plant fallacies

    The guest mischaracterizes non native plants, conflating invasive plants with volunteers not acknowledging that they escaped from home gardens, that they outcompete native plants because they don’t have predators and the relationship between native fauna, fungi and soils. Her use of the terms “wildlife” and “adapted” are misingenuous and focus on the winners that utilize non natives, and not the losers that can’t.

  • Irresponsible about natives

    This podcast host feels no responsibility to discuss the importance of using native plants in the garden. Entire shows recommend non-native species and praise “what vigorous growers” they are. For Japanese Anemone the suggestion was to “pot it up” and give it to a neighbor! Japanese Anemone is invasive in some states. I definitely do not have all native plants in my yard, but I try to pay attention to the importance of natives in my yard and would never give a neighbor an aggressive non native ... more
