“I just had to respond the previous post— we know what you were suggesting. I love Danielle and the format with Carol and Danielle together. Danielle is a treasure. She is smart and funny and I don’t care if her voice isn’t perfect for broadcasting. Gardeners are open minded and are not bothered...”Read full review »

“I really love Carolyn leading the podcasts lately. I’ve been listening a long long time and I’m not trying to be rude but many episodes are hard to understand because the chief editor has a bad microphone or bad connection in my opinion. I’m really liking the new format with Carole”

“This podcast has changed so much. I think Carol and Danielle are fine but don’t have the chemistry that Danielle had with Steve. Additionally, I do not like the changed format of interviewing another expert. If it is getting to be too much of a burden for these two gals to do a bi-monthly...”Read full review »

“I like Carol a lot and still enjoy the podcast, but I do miss the interplay between Steve and Danielle. There’s no one now to correct Danielle’s egregious botanical mispronunciations and frequent misuse of words. Please, I beg you…Anemone is pronounced An-e-MONEY, not An-ENEMY!”

“How I love Let’s Argue About Plants! I have been listening for several years now. I think I can blame you for my garden addiction. I never realized that you can start to garden, make mistakes and learn. Since the pandemic, that is what I do and I love it more even when digging up enormous...”Read full review »

“I listen to this show regularly despite it not really being for me. My garden style is very different from Danielle’s and while Carol and I have similar tastes, I live in a totally different region from her so her natives aren’t my natives. It’s an entertaining listen most episodes and I bet I’d...”Read full review »

“Two areas that might be good for discussion are “plants that weave in and out and play well/ beautifully frame/ offset others” and “plants that are allelopathic”. There isn’t a ton of easily found info on that subject for plants we all typically use and it would be helpful. Thank you for the pod-...”Read full review »

“Danielle is probably a nice person but her vocal fry makes me crazy. She just doesn’t seem to take the job seriously. Why are we pretending we aren’t gardeners and soo bad at watering? Cringe. The latest episode where the web person interviews Doug Tallamy is the most cringeworthy set of...”Read full review »

Something a little different. I have developed a rather unique beehive nest box beehive. And system of beekeeping.
Developed primarily for my own investigation of honeybees I have evolved a system like no other. Resulting in bees that are less...”Read full review »
