    Join Marco Timpano and Amanda Barker as they take you on another meander through their (not-so-large) urban garden! Don't be fooled by its seeming vastness - this episode is all about maximizing a minimal space. They'll chat about their favorite blooms, including tulips, alliums, cedum, hostas, peonies, and even a majestic lilac tree. But wait, there's more! The conversation takes a delightful turn as they explore some creative (and maybe a little strange) methods to keep those pesky squirrels away from your precious bulbs.
    Settle in, relax, and let Marco and Amanda's soothing voices transport you to their green haven in the city.

Charmingly dull—that takes skill!

This podcast amuses me so much and I look forward to each episode. I can listen to the same episode many times and not get bored, because I always drift off. I want to make it to the end because I amused with how cleverly and easily they pivot from one dull topic to another. Sometimes I have to listen in the daytime just to observe how they do it and it always makes me laugh. It takes a lot of skill for two obviously intelligent and funny people to be earnestly dull for 26 minutes!
