Hilarious and Insightful!

Loved listening to these plant experts chat and joke while smoothly inputing informative tidbits on plant facts and usage.

Great Subjects but Terrible Rambles

I want to love this show but can’t get through a single episode because of the terrible tangents of boring asides. I just wish they could have stayed on topic and done less talking out their mouths about stuff they didn’t know. Bummer.

Meh

Off track and rambling
