Lets get down to some horticultural history. Gardens through time are the focus of this week's episode of The Growing Season.  The Aztecs, The Myans, The Romans, The French, The Indians and The Japanese come into focus as some of the innovators in garden tech.  The French, in particular, have some sordid history intertwined with their horticulture. THEY HAD THEIR CAKE AND ATE AND ATE AND ATE!
