Listen now
Description
Pumpkins, poison plants, grave digging and cows.  Wait... is this the wrong show? The Growing Season dives into all things halloween and how the spookiest time of the year intersects with horticulture. Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland chat about pumpkins and turnips and various other plants that can be carved into jack-o-lanterns. What is the difference between poison and toxic?  The trio uncover the answers. Loco-weed, belladonna, yews, elderberry, mountain ash berries  and many others are discussed with respect to their possible poison parts. Matt discusses his trip to Cuba.  There were some questionable horticultural choices made on the resort.  Poisoning of the bride and groom was narrowly avoided.  SUGAR CANE!   It's awesome.
