Welcome to our weekly podcast with longtime Anchorage Daily News garden writer and author Jeff Lowenfels and co-host Jonathan White. Think of it as a companion to Jeff’s weekly ADN gardening columns and his popular series of books.
This week, Jeff and Jonathan examine the influx of gardening clickbait articles in our online and print media. They dissect the reasons behind this trend and share their insights on navigating through the clutter.
Then they dive into the scientific realm of bioluminescence, investigating why and how some plants can emit a mesmerizing glow.
Lastly, as we shift into the longer, warmer spring days, the team shares essential tips and reminders to maintain your plants’ health and growth during this season. Hint: Don’t forget to roll your seeds in mycorrhizal fungi.
