Gabe and Rebecca introduce a learn-from-our-mistakes segment inspired by Hugh Grant in Notting Hill: whoopsie daisy! In this case the topic is: don't forgot to water your damn plants! But is watering that simple? How much water do plants really need? And what does it mean "water until established"? They get into all that and so much more.

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.
