Episode description

Have a container? A small patch of land somewhere? Plant herbs!  There is nothing like fresh herbs that you have grown for your health, happiness, and recipe success.  Let us help you with tips for sowing, growing, and harvesting your herbs. Plus intriguing truths:

  • What is the most popular spice?  (Hint, it isn't Baby)
  • How the Romans used the herb savory. Why medieval monks were forbidden to grow it.
  • Meet an herb whose leaves tastes SO GOOD to 8o% of humans, is inedible to the other 20%, and then produces seeds that are a whole different spice! 
  • And the name of which herb is featured in what is arguably the best play written in the 20th century!

Journey through thyme (ha ha) with Upside Down Tulips. Plus - a special couple of  brand new humorous "pod plays" that celebrate The Natural State.
