The Growing Space Podcast

SHOW NOTES:

Episode Description: Oh Thanksgiving. Probably my favorite holiday. This week's episode is going to be short and sweet. I have a couple little ruminations, a couple little moments of gratitude to share with you this week. These arise for me as I tend to plants, especially edible plants and plants that I have growing around me and my growing space at home.
