**NERD ALERT
We decided to talk about something a bit different in this one - Plant taxonomy and classification!
Knowing a little bit about distinguishing characteristics of plants and a bit of latin, comes in very handy when you're trying to identify that mysterious blue flowering creeper or strappy grass. We focus on the plant family SOLONACEAE.
Hopefully ya'll aren't too bored by this and you'll appreciate how truly, truly nerdy Sam is.
Enjoy!
Peas!

Article about the scopolamine-containing plant we discussed (Brugmansia)
how it is synonymous with crime in South America and how it’s used to rob tourists in Colombia etc.

How good's growing your own fresh, seasonal food outside your back door?!

In honor of Casey's new, epic cook book release, this one's themed around growing the best food plants from around the world. We also trade tangents on how various cultures, i.e., Morocco and scandinavia have developed their own distinct combinations of flavors using herbs and spices that occur naturally in their respective bioregions. Very interesting stuff!
Thanks for listening ya'll

Ever thought about factoring in rising average summer temperatures into your planting scheme/garden design??
Tune in to listen to Casey and I discuss the reality of gardening in a drier climate. Man-made climate change is here to stay and it effects Perth gardeners in ways that might surprise you. 
Sticking to planting local/endemic plants in your garden will pay huge dividends in a decade as they're naturally adapted to low-rainfall requirements, plus our native birds and fauna will appreciate it!

Enjoy.

September- Dec is by far the best time to be a gardener in beautiful Perth. Never will you see as much colour and vibrancy around our city as now. Sam and Jules sussed out the wildflower festival in Kings park today and it blew their minds!
Once again, the dedicated horts, botanists and groundsmen have outdone themselves, check out the cartoonishly beautiful paper-daisy displays for proof!

Enjoy the rundown on what Perth horticulturalists have on their mind at this time of year, what to plant and things to do from September-Dec in Western Australia!
