Ep. 42 Talking Spooky Plants with the Hosts

On this week's Good Growing podcast it is a hostful episode where we talk about spooky plants. We dive into plants with a sinister history like deadly nightshade. And plants that just look evil such as devil's walking stick. Plus, just some all-around cool plants like witch hazel and bloodroot. Then we dive into the plants that bite back and talk carnivorous plants. All this plus your questions on asparagus and an invasive grass known as common reed grass or phragmites. We also went all out and put on our Halloween costumes and turned on the cameras.
