Let's Argue About Plants - Podcast Rankings and reviews

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 rocks hiding in my New Hampshire earth. I want each and every plant that you talk about. And you have contributed to my knowledge and desire to increase my native species. Is there anyway that in the magazine/podcast/website includesinformation about natives alternatives? Maybe I have missed that. For example, I now want a leatherleaf viburnum. I have Brandywine viburnum that I just planted last fall. But should I have more native viburnums in the mix? I want to make sure that I balance my local ecosystem if I can. Thank you so much for your delightful show and magazine.

I stumbled on this podcast through a post on Instagram about two years ago and it is such a welcome addition to my podcast queue! I’m always learning something new with each episode. I’ve been revamping a 1962 home AND very neglected yard in the Northeast zone 7 over the last six years. In some areas, I’m rehabbing and in other areas I’m starting from scratch which has been overwhelming at times. The knowledge I’ve gleaned from this podcast and the encouragement to keep experimenting have helped so much. Keep these awesome episodes coming!

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 learn a lot from it if I lived in their area and was newer to gardening. They try valiantly to make it relevant for the whole continent but gardening is fundamentally a local affair. I like hearing different perspectives and ideas.

Although I do miss Steve and the back and forth banter. I am really happy it was Carol that was his replacement, I enjoyed when she was a guest in past episodes.
I love this podcast because it is more about plants.
I have added some of the suggestions to my garden as well to my wish list 😀.
My only request is the plants are part of the show notes, those would be very helpful.
Thank you and keep the episodes coming!

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 show, consider using other staff but keep the format. I no longer recommend this podcast to all my gardening friends.
