You asked—we answered!
Since we ’ve been at this podcasting secret plan for more than two year now , we figured it was time we asked you guys — our loyal listeners — what pressing plant questions you have . We got questions about pattern and geographical zone 4 recommendations , and one brave hearer even wrote in to ask about our pet PINK plants ( yikes ! ) . There were a handful of doubtfulness that lead us clueless , so we called in a few bona fide expert to help out . After all , if there ’s one thing we have figured out through the course of this show , it ’s that we do n’t know it all — even you , Steve .
