It’s probably the most wonderful time of the yr! No, not since it’s the vacations, since it’s the annual Q & A episode here on Let’s Argue About Plants. Once we put a call out every year asking you, our faithful listeners, to send us your most pressing questions on plants and gardening, we never know what to anticipate. But boy did you deliver this time! We had so many questions roll in that we needed to create a spreadsheet just to maintain track. In today’s episode we’ll answer as a lot of those queries as possible, and in some cases, reach out to our colleagues in horticulture to reply (because let’s face it, we don’t know all the pieces). Tune in to see in case your query—or an issue just like yours—is answered and what we needed to say about cottage gardens and whether or not chances are you’ll need therapy due to a plant addiction.
