In this episode we talk garden basics! Good dirt, companion planting, pest control, pollinators and worms, garden styles, and our favorite garden snacks. With lots of tangents in between! Lots of love to your gardens, big or small. Please note: the Three Sisters Garden is a Native tradition and specifically Indigenous wisdom, and we meant to say that but got distracted (our sincerest apologies), we learned about it from the incredible book Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (which we cannot recommend highly enough!)

Daniel and Frankie got to be guests on Some Other Sphere podcast! They were interviewed by Rick Palmer about how they got into plants, how absolutely bananas plant communication is, and all kinds of fun plant talk (including a bit into the paranormal too!) Check it out, and check out Some Other Sphere Podcast as well!

Daniel and Frankie talk about the basics of houseplants in this episode! They cover plants great for the attentive caregiver, plants for the inattentive caregiver, and plants for the inconsistent caregiver. Use this as a sign to forgive yourself of all the plants you've killed: you ARE a plant person, you just might not have had the right plants for your love style! (Please forgive our raggedy allergy voices, you can go ahead and yell at ragweed for that one. It's been nonstop for weeks!) Check our our website www.propagatedpodcast.com for more info

It's spring time!! In this episode, we cover spring foraging basics with a few of our favorite delicious & important spring snacks.

Then we go on to talk about our favorite spring foragables and how to identify and use them! Daniel covers ramps, violets, clover, and morels. Frankie covers dandelions, wild garlic and onions, purple dead nettles, stinging nettles, and chickweed.
