Episode 93: Flowers That Love the Cold?! Hardy Annuals to Plant Now
Most flowers sulk when it gets cold. Hardy annuals are the ones that actually like it.This week we’re talking all about hardy annuals: the flowers that can handle frost, grow roots through the cool months, and bloom earlier and bigger than anything you plant in spring. We cover what makes an annual “hardy,” how timing changes in a warmer zone like Meg’s 8a versus a colder garden like Dagny’s, and our favorites to start with, like snapdragons, sweet peas, larkspur and bachelor’s buttons. If you’ve only ever planted flowers in May, this one might change your whole garden calendar.🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our website:https://gardengirlspod.comOur main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Dagny's Tea Garden E-Book:https://shop.thecottagepeach.com/products/growing-your-own-tea-garden-ebook-copyMeg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allSupport our podcast and get exclusive bonus content:https://www.patreon.com/c/GardenGirlsPodcastEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

Episode 92: The Wild History of Pumpkins (They Were Almost Extinct)
Pumpkins should be extinct. Wild squash was so bitter that only mastodons could eat it, and when the mastodons died out, the only animal left to save it was us.This week on Garden Girls, we dig into the surprisingly wild history of pumpkins. Botanically, there's no such thing as a pumpkin: it's five squash species sharing one nickname, and it's technically a berry. We go back 10,000 years to a cave in Oaxaca, follow the squash bees north, and land in colonial New England, where people had "pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at noon" and one Connecticut town moved Thanksgiving over a molasses shortage.Then the fun stuff: why the first jack-o'-lanterns were terrifying carved turnips, what's actually in your can of pumpkin, how nutmeg once beat Manhattan, why the pumpkin spice latte had no pumpkin in it for twelve years, and the giant pumpkin growers chasing a 2,819-pound world record. 🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our website:https://gardengirlspod.comOur main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Dagny's Tea Garden E-Book:https://shop.thecottagepeach.com/products/growing-your-own-tea-garden-ebook-copyMeg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allSupport our podcast and get exclusive bonus content:https://www.patreon.com/c/GardenGirlsPodcastEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

If you've ever wondered whether a garden festival is worth the drive, this one's for you.

Episode 90: The Weevils Had a Lawyer (And Other Crop Rituals) HALLOWEEN EP
For thousands of years, one late frost could mean a hungry winter for a whole village. So people tried everything: singing to apple trees, braiding the last of the harvest into straw dolls, leaving fields unplowed for the spirits. Some of it sounds unhinged now, but a surprising amount of it was good agricultural science dressed up in folklore.In this video we dig into the history, the magic, and the plain necessity behind old garden rituals. We look at which ones worked and why, which ones didn't (sorry, Pliny), and what the so called witch's garden was really growing.https://gardengirlspod.com🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Dagny's Tea Garden E-Book:https://shop.thecottagepeach.com/products/growing-your-own-tea-garden-ebook-copySupport our podcast and get exclusive bonus content:https://www.patreon.com/c/GardenGirlsPodcastMeg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

Episode 89: We Built Mini Ponds (you should too)
Most people think a pond means digging, liners, pumps, and a weekend you don't have. We're breaking down why a mini pond is the opposite of that, and what it does for your garden once it's in.In this episode of the Garden Girls Podcast, we talk through how we each built our DIY mini ponds, what we'd do differently, and why a few gallons of standing water changes who shows up in your yard. Pollinators, dragonflies, birds, and the occasional frog all start treating your garden like a destination.We also get into the part nobody warns you about: mosquitoes, algae, and what actually keeps a small pond balanced without constant fiddling.🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

Episode 87: You Don't Need a Green Thumb to Grow a Garden
A green thumb isn't a trait. It's a myth that's kept more people out of gardens than any actual plant ever has.In this episode of Garden Girls, Dagny gets into why "some people just have it and some people don't" is one of the most damaging ideas in gardening. We talk through the difference between talent and pattern recognition, and the specific mental shift that turns "I ruin everything" into "I'm learning what this plant needs."🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

Episode 86: The Flower You Think Is Soap
Lavender shows up on every candle, hand soap, and pillow spray you own, but its real history runs through Roman bathwater, door-to-door lavender sellers in Surrey, and a French chemist who accidentally named the entire practice of aromatherapy after burning his hand in a lab. We're getting into where English lavender actually comes from, what the science behind linalool tells us about why this plant has been used medicinally for over two thousand years, and what gets lost when a plant this interesting becomes an aesthetic instead of a subject.🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
