Mint Yards & Garden Refreshes E:27

Today we're talking about one of the world's most recognizable herbs. Many gardeners even spend part of the summer trying to keep it from taking over their garden. But this humble plant has accompanied humanity for thousands of years, crossing continents, inspiring artists, and earning a place in kitchens and medicine cabinets around the world. Welcome to July Gardening, where your plants are either thriving, struggling, or dramatically pretending they need water every 15 minutes. Your petunias are exhausted, your weeds are winning, and your tomato plants have officially taken over the neighborhood. Today, we're figuring out what to cut, what to feed, and what plants we should just politely ignore. Eating foraged plants should only be done by experts, eating foraged plants may result in being poisoned. While the edibility of plants is discussed in this podcast, you should not consume foraged plants or mushrooms without the in-person advice from an expert. The Petal & Plot Pod features seasonal plant origin stories and seasonal garden tips. Hosted by Aneesa Adams and Eric Ketchum, owners of Petal & Plot Garden Design in Minnesota.
