Is planting by the moon backed by science, or just a superstition that appeals to the chronically online green witch? Jonathan and Jeannette also dive deep into biodynamic farming and discover what signs our favorite plants are. But first we give you an update on our thriving (sarcasm) gardens and Jonathan tries hosta shoots! Will they make his pee smell? Jonathan also shares garden tea with two stories on how openly racist this community can be (TW: mentions of racism and sexual assault). For best results, please listen to this episode during the waning crescent moon, thanks.

Also, we had some technical difficulties that caused the audio to be of lesser quality than what you've come to expect from Plant Sluts, North America’s #1 gardening podcast. We have corrected the issue for future episodes.
