40. Perennial Discretion Advised: Rhubarb Murder & Other Strange Tips

And just how supple do you think Sleeping Beauty was after she slept for a hundred years?   It does have something to do with gardening, we swear.

We discuss the unique requirements to grow perennial vegetables: rhubarb, horseradish, artichoke, asparagus and leek. They come back year after year with minimum care. And not just for food: here’s a recipe to lighten your hair naturally with rhubarb.  We also reveal the answer to why asparagus makes your pee smell funny and the artichoke’s secret: it is mainly a butter delivery service, let’s be honest.

Great tips on caring for your forsythia bush, potted or not. And a quote by Derek Jarman that ends like this ”…..it’s the amen beyond the prayer.” That quote alone is worth your time. 

SPECIAL TREAT:  Not only do we have a new "Ask Agnes" sketch for you, but we couldn't resist bringing back "Stranger Garden Things" and Christy's beloved Rhubarb.  BARB!!!
