The Gardenangelists: Flowers, Veggies, and All the Best Dirt
Are you ready to be converted to living a gardening life? Each week, join Carol Michel and Dee Nash, both passionate gardeners, authors, and long-time bloggers, as they chat over the garden fence about flowers, veggies, and all the best dirt on gardening. Carol and Dee have the audacity to call themselves gardenangelists, evangelists for gardening, and want everyone to dig in the dirt, sow a few seeds, and enjoy the simple pleasures and even a few pitfalls of a gardening life. If you are ready to live a gardening life or already live one this is one podcast you don’t want to miss.

Well, We Tried to Make Insects the Overall Theme
Dee and Carol tried to make insects the overall theme for this week's podcast which is all about late-blooming flowers for pollinators, leaving the leaves for the insects, some cool books, and a wonderful documentary called The Love Bugs.
