Full Moon, Full Bed: Planting by Lunar Phases

Anyone still planting by lunar phases?

Is planting by the moon backed by science, or just a superstition that appeals to the chronically online green witch? Jonathan and Jeannette also dive deep into biodynamic farming and discover what signs our favorite plants are. But first we give you an update on our thriving (sarcasm) gardens and Jonathan tries hosta shoots! Will they make his pee smell? Jonathan also shares garden tea with two stories on how openly racist this community can be (TW: mentions of racism and sexual assault). For best results, please listen to this episode during the waning crescent moon, thanks.

Also, we had some technical difficulties that caused the audio to be of lesser quality than what you've come to expect from Plant Sluts, North America’s #1 gardening podcast. We have corrected the issue for future episodes.

Video Episode: Botanical Taste Test

We Tried "Botanical" Snacks So You Don't Have To

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/JqhkIucMroQ

Jeannette has finally made it to Montreal! To celebrate the reunion, we took the cameras out to the greenhouse for a very special, very chaotic mini-episode.

We hit up the Boutique at the world-famous Montreal Botanical Garden and brought back a haul of bizarre, fancy, and fascinating botanical delicacies to taste test on camera. We are talking sweet Tulip Jelly, briny Fiddleheads, raw Spruce Tips, and we washed it all down with Forest Amaretto mixed with Spruce-flavored Soda.

Some were absolutely delicious, and some... well, you'll just have to watch our faces. Grab a snack, pull up a chair, and join us under the glass!

Trail Mix: Hazelnut's Botanical Blue-Balling

Plant sluts lose the plot

Jeannette visits Jonathan in Montreal and they get their fill on leafy greens in their winter coats. Jeannette commits the ultimate faux pas while not understanding what that means since she doesn't speak French. Another round of F*ck, Marry, Kill (nut edition)! We get into hazelnuts and the plant's ultimate reproductive power play, while discovering their global impact and why one chocolate spread controls the world’s hazelnuts. We also look into why Oregon calls it their state nut and what they used to call their state nut. Finally, the sluts learn about Celtic Tree Astrology and why Jeannette will probably never be happy.

Trail Mix: Cacao, the Currency of Sex

From pod to bar to strip club

After complaining about kids these days, Jonathan and Jeannette dive into the history of the cacao plant and how that became the chocolate we consume nonstop today. We answer questions like "How many cacao pods did it cost to hire a sex worker in the Aztec empire?" and "Is white chocolate actually chocolate?" We also discover the tiny, nasty pollinator that is responsible for every yummy chocolate treat you chew. And we find out if your fancy, overpriced chocolate is really anything special.

Trail Mix: Seedy BDSM

Get Seedy with our Trail Mix Series

The first in our Trail Mix series! It all starts and ends with seeds. We discuss which new seeds we’re trying this season and defend Jonathan’s AI garden organizing system.

We go into the future of seeds and the difference between seed banks, seed libraries, and seed sanctuaries. Jonathan gives us some tips for saving seeds and Jeannette shares a spell for planting on March 19th (the new moon and last frost date in Salem).
