Show Notes
Peanut sex gets wild in this episode! First, we try a new segment to find our sun-moon-rising Plant Placements and Jeannette tries more yard debris with Nipplewort! Will her nipples ever recover? Jonathan finds Montreal's peanut connection and Jeannette dives into the history of peanuts as a crop in the US. Jonathan also gives us the truth about these "nitrogen fixing" plants and whether we need to rotate our humble hobbyist garden beds. Absurd amount of singing in this one.

Jonathan and Jeannette speed-date Italian and English garden designs. We uncover their green flags, red flags, and all the control freakery hidden behind the hedges. We decide which garden we'd swipe right on and what design principles we’ll steal for our own gardens, and what can stay across the pond.

In this bonus episode, we continue our conversation from Plants, Pain, and Prozac and get into gardening with ADHD. We look at how the ADHD brain functions and why this can be a help and hinderance once we get outdoors.
In this episode Jonathan and Jeannette talk about gardening with chronic pain, stress and depression. After the trauma dump it gets optimistic with some tips on how to make it less painful and we go over studies that suggest it may even be helping our terrible moods. But first they share their garden status updates (complaints), Jeannette proposes a new segment and Jonathan spills the tea on the new Community Garden gestapo.
Is planting by the moon backed by science, or just a superstition that appeals to the chronically online green witch? Jonathan and Jeannette also dive deep into biodynamic farming and discover what signs our favorite plants are. But first we give you an update on our thriving (sarcasm) gardens and Jonathan tries hosta shoots! Will they make his pee smell? Jonathan also shares garden tea with two stories on how openly racist this community can be (TW: mentions of racism and sexual assault). For best results, please listen to this episode during the waning crescent moon, thanks.
