Our gardens are looking great for June.  Except it is August?!  Ah well. Christy and Edith are eating lettuce. Lettuce is bolting. We prevent bolting with a lawn chair. We are harvesting garlic. We are trying new ways to peel garlic. Edith is planting onions.  Christy forgot she planted onions. Plus, we celebrate what is reblooming and ponder where are all the Japanese beetles?

Then we jump in a fun topic:  Veggies and flowers with more than one use.

  • Find out the unique uses for other parts of garlic, chives and leeks.
  • What plants are we growing that we purposely let go to seed?
  • Don’t forget some plants you can eat more than the bottom – you can eat the tops, too!
  • Did you know other parts of raspberry bush are edible?
  • Are you eating stems and massaging your kale? You should! 
  • Who the heck is Euelle Gibbons?
  • We are not done! Roses, Calendula, Lavender, Nasturtium & Marigolds

A Special Treat:  Barbie and Robert Oppenheimer show up in a new pod play!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
