Hosted by Jonathan and Jeannette, longtime friends of 25 years and unapologetic botany degenerates. They’re not here to tell you what to plant or how to grow it, but to banter, gossip, and lovingly complain about all things green. Jonathan gardens from Montreal, Quebec (USDA zone 6A) while Jeannette tends her plants in Salem, Oregon (USDA zone 8B). Whether those numbers mean everything to you or absolutely nothing, you’re in the right place.

    Haskap, We're Back!

    Episode Notes We’re back with Québec ’s favorite uncut berry: haskap. This episode spirals from Jeannette's forgotten Brussels sprouts to Jonathan's most unhinged greenhouse hack yet. Jonathan also spills some political Garden Tea. Then we get into haskap: why Québec growers are obsessed with it and why it's still on the dating apps. Got garden drama?

    Winter Cutting: Houseplants

    In this bonus winter cutting we talk about gardening indoors aka houseplants. We go into the origin and psychological grip they have on us. We ask, are there native houseplants and how prolific is the mall plant aesthetic? We discuss the problems you can run into when bringing the outdoors inside and why they may not be the great gift you think they are (unless you're Jonathan's mom).

    Cranberry Bogs & Buzz

    Episode Notes In this episode we learn about Jonathan’s secret life as an oil baron. Jeannette will leave the leaves, so everyone please just shut up about it. We find a new community garden character trope and ask big questions like: are you a Thanksgiving marshmallow family? In our plant spotlight we talk about the original cranberry sauce and how the American colonists capitalized on indigenous knowledge and slavery to create their yummy cranberry desserts. We explain why cranberries need our vibrators and ask, “Did our favorite 90s HBO series cause the downfall of US wetlands?” Listen 'til the end for Jeannette’s famous cranberry sauce recipe! We’ll be going dormant for the winter but keep subscribed for Winter Cuttings! If you have any Garden Tea, send us an email to plantslutspod@gmail.com See you in February!

    Pumpkin Gourds & Ouija Boards

    Episode Notes In this episode we get spooky as Jonathan plots garden revenge on his ex, we whisper to our dearly departed plants via an online Ouija Board, and divine the mysteries of the dormant season with tarot. Plus, we spotlight pumpkin-- the berry you've probably never eaten. Jeannette digs into the haunted history of the jack-o-lantern (even if carving one still kinda sucks).

    Skullcap the Nightmare Boo-tanical

    Episode Notes Our latest episode kicks off Spooky season and includes an uncomfortable conversation with an arborist. Jonathan brags about his nonna's smuggled plums from the old country. We read terrifying Garden Tea sent in by a listener and pronounce all the medicinal compounds in American Skullcap perfectly on the first try ☠️ Correction: Jonathan said cinquefoil in reference to bunch berry (cornus canadensis) but he meant quatre-temp.
