Baby, it's cold outside...

Matt has packed up the job site tools for the season and is set to kick off the holiday fare for 2024.

"How would we, as humanity, survive during an ice age?"

It's the question that The McFarlands ask to tee off this week's episode of The Growing Season. 

What would you be willing to give up in an effort to preserve what's left of our climate?   Hard questions abound...

How are people overcoming extreme cold to participate in horticultural adventures?   Matt, Jack and Lynne discuss. 

The odds of an ice age occurring soonish is slim. The McFarlands take a geographical adventure to discuss what areas of the world would fare best in the event of an ice age.

The world produces 150% more food than we need on a daily basis.  Why?

"Human emissions" as a fuel source?   Would it work?   Matt details how.

The size of vegetable garden for a family of 4 is discussed.   You'd be surprised to learn how big the garden needs to be to supply a family with produce for the season. 

Terra cotta pots as a heat source.

What plants can grow is insanely cold climates.  You'll find out.

Tune in.
