Daniel and Frankie talk about the basics of houseplants in this episode! They cover plants great for the attentive caregiver, plants for the inattentive caregiver, and plants for the inconsistent caregiver. Use this as a sign to forgive yourself of all the plants you've killed: you ARE a plant person, you just might not have had the right plants for your love style! (Please forgive our raggedy allergy voices, you can go ahead and yell at ragweed for that one. It's been nonstop for weeks!) Check our our website www.propagatedpodcast.com for more info

It's spring time!! In this episode, we cover spring foraging basics with a few of our favorite delicious & important spring snacks.

Then we go on to talk about our favorite spring foragables and how to identify and use them! Daniel covers ramps, violets, clover, and morels. Frankie covers dandelions, wild garlic and onions, purple dead nettles, stinging nettles, and chickweed.
