Hot Flashes in the Garden! (actually, microclimates)

Before “microclimates” became a gardening buzzword, Leslie and Marianne were already having hot flashes in the garden. 🔥🌿

In this vintage One More Sip episode of The Garden Mixer, we talk about:
• hot vs cool pockets in the garden
• why some plants fry in summer and freeze in spring
• raised beds, slopes, walls, and heat traps
• tropicals, hostas, wisteria heartbreak, and elephant ears
• Thomas Jefferson’s surprisingly clever vegetable garden design
• and how understanding your own garden is the real gardening superpower

Also included:
🍸 Marianne’s legendary goddess dress
🍸 Leslie comparing gardening to golf bunker shots
🍸 Hot Girl Summer Gardening™
🍸 More botanical pronunciation adventures than anyone asked for

This episode originally aired for paid One More Sip subscribers and is now being released publicly one year later.
