Today’s episode is another garden tour, this time of our flower garden! During the episode I blanked out on a couple of the names but I hope I covered some of them in the plant list below. This is by far not a comprehensive plant list but just a smattering of some of the ones […]
Ep. 3-6: Bromeliads | Joanne Woolsey & Jimbo’s Nursery
Today’s guest is Joanne Woolsey of Jimbo’s Nursery here in Greater Houston. As you will hear in the episode, Jimbo’s is specialty nursery focusing primarily on a variety of bromeliads as well as other tropicals, including succulents.

Ep. 3-4: A Good Garden Conversation | Julie Rorrer
We ventured out of the garden recently, because it’s September which is when all the prickly pears (tunas) are ripe, and came back with 220 pounds of prickly pears. We peeled them (which takes a long long time as you try to avoid getting any glochids in your hands), juiced them, strained them, strained them […]

Ep. 2-1: Planning + Using Your Harvest | Julie Rorrer with Gardenkeepr

Katie was one of those people that I found and over the years we’ve chatted about gardening and other random […]

Leanne Tarleton gardens in The Woodlands township, a unique community that […]
