These two have just the right amount of reverence, sass, humor, deep knowledge and love for gardening, and respect for the environment. Absolutely love listening while I’m working and weeding. I’ve followed Leslie since her solo days and have adored the addition of Marianne. Really really appreciate both perspectives and their banter. Keep on!! Plan on subscribing asap.
