This week on Down the Garden Path, Joanne shares her passion for indoor gardening with practical winter houseplant care tips and a reminder that there's always something new to learn and grow. Topics discussed: 1. From Annuals to Houseplants It's time to turn your attention to houseplants as gardening shifts indoors. Don't rush out to buy new plants: friends and family often have extras or cuttings to share. 2. Winter Care Basics During shorter days and lower light levels, houseplants slow down their growth. Do not fertilize in winter; they're not actively growing. Keep watering moderately: it's better to underwater than overwater. Use a moisture meter or finger test to check the soil before watering. 3. Refresh and Repot Check plants for dryness, dust, or signs they've outgrown their pots. Wipe dusty leaves with a damp cloth to help them absorb light. Consider repotting if roots are showing through the drainage holes. Use potting soil, not garden soil, and choose soil types suited to plant varieties (succulents, orchids, etc.). Avoid decorative pots without drainage for valuable plants. 4. Easy Propagation and Gift Ideas Take cuttings from plants like pothos, philodendron, and peperomia. Start them in water using clear containers to monitor root growth. Plant swaps are a fun and inexpensive way to expand your collection. Propagated plants make meaningful, affordable holiday gifts. 5. Learning and Experimenting Joanne shares her experiences with low-maintenance plants (snake plant, ZZ plant, pothos). Recently inspired to try more demanding varieties like Alocasia. Discusses challenges like insect issues and learning about proper soil mixes. 6. The Joy and Benefits of Houseplants Houseplants add life, colour, and calm to indoor spaces during the winter. Handling soil can improve mood and mental health. Every room benefits from having at least one plant. Notes the outdated NASA air-purifying study—plants don't clean air significantly but do add humidity and beauty.

This week on The Veg Grower Podcast, Richard reflects on another busy week in the garden and allotment. With mild weather still hanging on, there's plenty of fresh food to harvest — from kale and leeks to the last of the tomatoes and chillies. But as winter creeps closer, Richard's focus turns to preparing for the months ahead and keeping the growing going indoors. In the Kitchen Garden Despite the changing season, the kitchen garden is still producing well. Richard talks about his continued harvests of late crops and how the mild weather has delayed the first frost. He shares how vital homemade compost has been this year — improving soil moisture and helping crops like parsnips thrive even after a dry summer. With 16 water butts already in place, he's been busy transferring rainwater between them to make the most of every drop. Richard also discusses plans to add an IBC tank to boost rainwater storage and the benefits of composting for soil health, including his ongoing success with the Hotbin composter. Its mentioned about some black Fridays deals from HOTBIN composters that might be of interest to you and can be found here, or by using BF2025 in your cart when checking out There's both good and bad news in the chicken coop this week. A compulsory housing order is now in place across the UK due to bird flu, meaning all poultry must be kept indoors. Richard shares how he's keeping his flock safe — and the joy of discovering the very first egg from one of his new hens, a beautiful small blue-green egg laid by Panther. Down on the Allotment At the allotment, the focus has shifted to clearing and preparing beds for winter. Richard discusses the importance of green manures for protecting and improving soil health. He's experimenting with different types — from phacelia to winter tares and forage rye — to see which works best in his soil. He's also noticed some of his raised bed timbers are starting to rot, a good reminder that winter is the perfect time for maintenance projects like replacing boards and refreshing bed edges. Recipe of the Week This we week we have a perfect seasonal recipe — Roasted Root Vegetable and Apple Soup. This simple dish combines carrots, parsnips, swede and apples for a sweet, hearty winter warmer that's ideal for using up stored crops. In the Potting Shed Richard finishes the episode talking about growing indoors — from microgreens on the kitchen windowsill to experiments with hydroponics. He explains how grow lights, heated propagators, and even small hydro systems can keep gardeners growing all winter long. Even when it's cold and dark outside, the gardening doesn't have to stop. With a few trays of microgreens or herbs, there's always something fresh to enjoy — and plenty of ways to scratch that gardening itch through the winter.
In this lively and laughter-filled midsummer episode of Hort Culture, the crew is joined by Emma Lee, UK Extension Agent from Estill County and the voice behind the popular UK Houseplant Education videos. The gang dives deep into the world of houseplants—dispelling myths, sharing war stories, and celebrating the trials and triumphs of indoor gardening.Emma shares the origin of her houseplant video series, created as part of her graduate work and fueled by her newfound obsession with foliage. From low-maintenance starter picks like Tradescantia and heartleaf philodendron to the surprisingly dramatic Calathea, the crew debates plant preferences and pet peeves. Succulents? Not as simple as social media makes them seem.Other topics include: The social media-fueled rise of trendy houseplants Why some plants just aren't for you—and that's okay Emma's bioactive frog tank turned Calathea haven Bonsai tangents and plant pricing bubbles “Plants don't read the books”: what really works at homeWhether you're team succulent or team “please stop mixing cactus with peace lilies,” this episode offers a down-to-earth and refreshingly honest take on houseplant culture.Show Notes & Resources: University of Kentucky Houseplant Education Resources for Home Growers: Houseplants Indoor Plants Caring for houseplants in the winter

A chat with Peter Burke. In This Garden Chat: It makes sense to keep our herb gardens close to our kitchens for easy access, and for some people that means gardening indoors. There are a variety of culinary options to our inside gardens and this month Janis stepped in to chat with Peter Burke to get some useful and inspirational tips for practical gardening indoors - with a focus on growing a fresh salad in only seven days. On the last Tuesday every month we host The Urban Farm Garden Chats where Greg Peterson has a relaxed conversation in a Zoom room with a special guest to cover useful gardening topics, and they answer questions from the live listening audience. To join us for the next event, go to www.GardenChat.org or Click HERE to register for the Monthly Garden Chat with Live Q&A Our Special Guest:Peter has been teaching gardening classes since 2006 when he started presenting workshops on Indoor salad gardening. He also teaches about square foot gardening, extending the gardening season, and more and supports the need for specialized seeds for indoor salad gardening. He is the host of In The Garden on WDVE radio Vermont. He lives with his family in Calais Vermont and is the author of Year-round Indoor Salads.
Starting Sustainability: Sustainable Living: eco-friendly: environment: green: recycle: zero-waste
www.startingsustainability.com Summer has come and gone and it's too late to start a fall garden. However, there are many indoor gardening options available. Herbs, vegetable and even fruits can be grown indoors. www.startingsustainability.com/episode131
In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran talk indoor gardening with an expert on the subject. Gardening: Did you Know? Did you know that more than 50% of the food grown in this country goes to waste? It feeds the bottom of trash cans, instead of feeding the millions of Americans that rarely get to taste freshly grown foods. LettuceGrow saw the problem and set out to help the average American - even city dwellers - start their own mini farms. It is all done simply, conveniently, and takes up very little space, thanks to the Farmstand. Meeting an Indoor Gardening Guru For this episode, River and Terran met with LettuceGrow's co-founder, Jacob Pechenik, so we can learn more about LettuceGrow's take on sustainable food. Jacob is a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a longtime farming and gardening enthusiast. He's founded or co-founded multiple brands devoted to solving problems related to food, addressing issues such as logistics, waste, chemical use, and more. After growing all of these fantastic veggies, we had to prepare something for the family. The following is the recipe we used. Check out our social media accounts for bonus footage of us prepping the lettuce wraps. Feed the Family: Garden Fresh Lettuce Wraps Ingredients 2lbs ground chicken 2T avocado oil 1 small onion, minced 2 cups bell pepper 1 can water chestnuts, minced 4-6T soy sauce 6T hoisin sauce 2T sesame oil 2T rice vinegar 2T peanut butter 2T honey 2 cloves garlic, minced ¼ tsp ginger Directions In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, peanut butter, honey, garlic, and ginger. Set aside. In a frying pan, heat the avocado oil and add ground chicken. Cook until browned. Add onion to the pan and stir over medium heat until onions are translucent. Add peppers and minced water chestnuts and cook until peppers soften. Reduce heat to low, and add sauce mixture. Stir for 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Serve on bib lettuce.

Now that Summer weather has finally reached us here in Seattle, we sit down to share our plant-oriented reading and listening lists. Then we welcome Maria Failla back on the show to tell us about her new book, Growing Joy: The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness (and Plants), one we both loved! Remember almanacs? Which Plant Daddy gives Ortho some credit? And how are the Chinquapins doing? Happy Summer, y'all!Don't forget to pick up your copy of Growing Joy!https://bloomandgrowradio.com/bookThen on the After Show, we continue chatting with Maria to ask her a few more questions about the process of writing Growing Joy, and who she would have wanted to record the audio version if it hadn't been her.

It's truth time. Since we *so bravely* shared our plant goals earlier this year, have we made any progress? Stephen started using windows, and he finally has some results to report. And Matthew is doing a certain thing a lot more consistently. But do we still have those Mandarin Plants? Let's just say you can tell we're getting close to the end of our season! Also, what's 2+3?

If you do everything right, the plant we're discussing this week will look kind of dead! Did that get your attention? If that sounds appealing to you - and it does to us - then you really should give the Bundle of Sticks Plant, Cynanchum marnierianum, a try. What are our experiences with this surprisingly easy plant? How can you even tell if it's thriving? And why are we not surprised Stephen already owned it? This is one we both love!Then on the After Show, we discuss what we found when we looked for online communities of Plant Parents with a love for "Dead Stick Plants," and what this interest might look like outside of the succulent world.

This month, we revisit a perennial Plant Parent passion – propagation! See what I did there? Thank you. Anyway, are there any new trends lately? What propagation are we doing in our own collections? And what the heck do we plan to do with these new plants? We “get into it” discussing sphagnum, perlite, and other preferred propagation mediums. But both Plant Daddies agree that this part of the hobby is so fun!And a special thank you to our new Patrons for the month of May!

The whole idea behind starting this podcast was to give you the information you need to grow your own food, no matter how much space you have. Most of what I've covered on this show has been toward in-ground gardens and containers, only briefly touching on growing indoors. That's about to change. Whether you have no access to an outdoor growing space, you want to expand on what space you do have by growing more inside, or you want to extend your season by using your indoor space for gardening, I've got you covered. This episode we'll go over the basic requirements for growing fruits, herbs, and vegetables indoors, the different systems you can use to get the most from your space and your plants and the bonus pieces you can splurge on to take your indoor gardening over the top.

We know it's an unlikely choice for most plant parents, but the strategies and fun involved in cultivating unusual houseplants like Welwitschia mirabilis is an experience we're excited to share! And even if he has never touched one, Matthew loves the botanical and evolutionary mystery this living fossil presents. What can we do when there's no clear care info for a plant? Does Stephen even know what he's doing yet? Say hello to Aunt Ephedra for us.Then on the After Show, what is Stephen's long term plan here? And what might be protecting wild populations?

We have plenty of plant thoughts and goals on our minds as we sit down for our Spring-themed Chill 'n Chat! Should you put our houseplants outdoors during the warm months? As seasonal selections improve at plant stores, what are our current strategies to avoid plant burnout or over-collecting? Do you have to get a former goal plant if it's cheaper now?

What's up to my tourmaline tortoises and turquoise tanagers! Welcome back to the BNP everyone and thank you for joining! Shouts to my patrons: y'all are the Himalayan in my sea salt and the magick sigils in my spellbook. You are appreciated. In this whimsical and far-ranging episode, I interweave some juicy and highly zany audio tidbits and idea tapas with the latest Barbarian Yak Fest conversation. Dr. Sylvie and I chat about escaping the ubiquitous presence of electromagnetic frequencies, and Sylvie shares her dream for an art studio "she shed" in the woods. I want a crow shed myself. KAW! We then dive into some salient current events, such as President Vibin shaking hands with shadows (then doddering around the stage), a federal judge ending mask mandates on planes, & inflation and supply chain madness. We examine the mysterious and unsettling videos and images coming out of locked down Shanghai. Could it be the lockdown is part of an asymmetric hybrid war against the U.S. supply chain? We end on a pragmatic and productive tip, as we brainstorm practical steps all of us can take to move forward toward a more self-reliant and fulfilling existence. We all can grow herbs, sprout sprouts for nutrient-dense salads, and fearlessly speak with our friends, acquaintances and fellow humans about building parallel counter economic systems.I end the episode with an article about the late Tanzanian leader John Magafuli, who did so much to elevate his people, and who died under suspicious circumstances in 2020, after defying the global biomedical cartel.

We can talk about techniques one by one, but sometimes a scenario – like adopting an old plant – is the best way to discuss how we think of them *all working together*. Today we'll talk through fertilizing, potting substrate, pruning, and dividing, and when we'd consider each. Will we agree? Expect a few propagation and pruning tips in this one, and of course some teasing between us.We've teamed up with Soltech Solutions! Use code PLANTDADDYPODCAST at checkout to save 15%
Is there a perfect Hoya substrate recipe? Our answer may surprise you. We'll walk through our preferred ingredients, why we use them, some ideas for both new and experienced Hoya parents, and even the “potting equation” as a whole! You know us – we couldn't help getting into the details! What is a “coarse” mix? How do we both feel about coconut husk chunks? And which one of us hasn't repotted one of their Hoyas in 5 years?
