Raising Quail in the City?
Love this podcast. As an urban horticulturalist, I can’t always find ‘my kind’ in the big city and this podcast fills that void and grounds me.
I really want a series on raising quail. I don’t know anyone doing it but quail eggs are delicious (and so beautiful! So cute!) and they’re small enough that I think I have enough space 🤞.

Becoming commercialized
Used to be good, not great. But now it seems that everything associated with this “brand” is becoming heavily commercialized with outside adds, and ads for their own stuff.
They are diluting their content and will drive the real hardcore gardeners away. Maybe they are only going after newbies, so they will keep chasing their tail, instead of putting quality, unbiased content out there.
