Looking for podcast recommendations that discuss permaculture principles, sustainable garden design, native plant gardening, etc. Any suggestions?

Can anyone ID this plant? My plant identifier is insisting that it’s a Jerusalem Cherry, but the next most likely thing is Silverleaf Nightshade. I’ve searched on both and it definitely looks like a Jerusalem Cherry, but I have absolutely no clue how it ended up in my yard if that’s the case.

A greenhouse study with barley (Hordettm disticlton L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown on two mineral soils and fertilized with three levels of 7-yr-old compost combined with four different levels of nitrogen (N) showed that boron (B) toxicity was dependent on the amount of N used in combination with compost. At high...

Thrilled to pieces to see these bloom for the first time. 😄 I picked up these seeds at my town’s local seed swap where they were labeled “Swedish Tall Red”. I knew of a few other names for the cultivar but I wasn’t expecting the absolute onslaught:...

Absolutely cannot wait for this year's snap peas- something about the plants just delights me....

Planted these in Winter 2020, finally seeing some buds.

I'm getting the ball rolling on a cannabis growing community....

The three sisters garden is a symbiotic formation of corn, beans, & squash. These crops combine to create preferable growing conditions for each of their cohabitants.
