Ep. 179 Plants we wouldn’t plant or would think twice about before planting again| #GoodGrowing

While we tend to focus on the positives of plants, not all plants work well in all gardens or for all gardens. Whether they are too aggressive, require too much time and maintenance, or we just don’t like them, there are a variety of reasons we may not want to grow certain plants. On this week’s Good Growing Podcast, we discuss some of the plants we’ve grown in our gardens that we wouldn’t plant again and some that we would think twice about planting. It’s not all bad, though; we also discuss some plants we will always plant in our gardens. Watch us on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XHqaxZPzlVU Skip to what you want to know:    00:35 – Welcome, Ken and Emily!
