Winds of growth: perennials vs. annuals

​​In this episode, Jeff and Jonathan discuss the influence of weather on plant growth. While annuals suffer from unfavorable conditions, perennials thrive in windy weather. They mention the importance of the soil food web's response to water and caution against excessive watering, which can lead to the production of unwanted alcohol.
Additionally, the team covers some brief tips for dealing with aphids in greenhouses and gardens, as well as touching on the Holy Grail of gardening: tomatoes!
