  • Good advice from people with experience

    I’ve just finished podcasts on seed starting and hardening plants. Information was specific, practical, comprehensive, and presented with enthusiasm. I sent links to several of my friends. I’ll be listening to all the segments. Thank you!

  • Valuable info, just one minor thing…

    I’ve just started listening to this podcast as a new gardener and there is a lot of great info here. The one thing that really threw me is “foliage” was said at least 20 times in the episode… and pronounced incorrectly. I know it’s terrible, but the mispronunciation is enough for me to stop listening, especially with how often it was said. Will keep listening anyway for now, but just a tip :)
