  • Randomness & Squirrels

    Greetings Plant People! In this episode, Vikram and I answer a listener's question and talk about the current state of our gardens and what else we're planning to grow. It's randomness and there's talk of soggy squirrels, catalytic converters, and Top Gun. We still have some kernels of gardening wisdom in there, so don't worry. Next time, we'll be back with more to help you get in the grow! Join us for randomness and squirrels. :)

  • Ooookrahoma!

    Hello dear listeners, in this episode of In the Grow, we're talking about okra! It's an excitingly hearty plant that I hope you enjoy learning about as much as I did. We discuss spacing, watering, and more for growing okra. We encourage you to plant some this year, as it is a hot, very dry season and okra can surely handle it. Take that, tomatoes! Just kidding. As always, happy planting. :)

It's a long one, but a fun one, so stick with us through the end when Vikram finds out how very mad sweet pickles make me. Random? Yes, but if you want to hear more of our shenanigans, listen in!
