#11 1/2 One More Sip: Poisonous Plants Freak Out
from The Garden Mixer · host Leslie Harris and Marianne Willburn
Much like days when you intend to start tomato seeds and end up digging the outline for the new pond, our bi-weekly conversations mix up topics, plants , and guests, and keep us on our toes.We love that mix, but this week, we're experimenting with One More Sip -- a short form episode for in-between weeks that deals with one topic only.At least that's what Marianne promised. This week we're talking poisonous plants. Do you feel like there is a lot more made of plant toxicity in academia, social media and news than there needs to be? We do. And we want to talk about it.What's reasonable. What's not. How can you adapt your garden? Do you need to? When does it make sense to pay attention, and what is unnecessary fear mongering? From Digitalis to daffodils... the list is long and it contains plants that most gardeners would never do without. Feeling societal pressure to do without them anyway? You need some moral support -- or at the very least a couple experienced gardeners in your corner. Join us.
