Advertise on podcast: Leafing Out - a podcast about gardening

We're talking about the equinox, early signs of spring in our garden, and Gabe's garden obsession: compost!

Gabe & Rebecca chat about what's happening in garden in winter, everything from evergreens to dried flower blossoms to overwintering insects. 

We're in the dog days of summer when lots of blooms have come and gone, but a few of our favorites (echinacea, hydrangea, clematis) are carrying us through!  Plus, follow along as Rebecca describes her journey from bug phobia to bug appreciation.

Gabe tries to figure out the age of the red oak in the backyard and in the process finds out a lot about the fallibility of common (non-invasive) tree-dating methods.

What info is on a plant tag?  Not enough! Gabe & Rebecca talk about why scientific plant names are good for more than just sounding snobby. And they talk about how they've gone wrong with bachelor's buttons. Learn from their mistakes so you can get this showy blue flower to sparkle in your garden!

Gabe and Rebecca discuss how to start planning your garden layout and they go deep on what, exactly, is a perennial.
