As the heat and humidity start to make the prairies feel tropical Dave and Maggie revel in a tasty heirloom snap pea and inhale the sweet fragrance of an orange twist on the classic gardenia. A listener asks for help with a common problem, the Colorado potato beetle... and good news, there are some solutions! The big theme this week is houseplants with special guest Jane Perrone, the award-winning presenter of On The Ledge podcast. Jane covers everything from life as a gardening-podcaster to the benefits of just going for it the next time you are called upon to pronounce a little botanical Latin. She also shares some of her favourite houseplants to grow and offers tips for rookies and seasoned plant-parents alike.
