What's up guys and girls out there in the gardening world? Welcome back to the show. I'm really

comes to gardening and so Matt has a fascinating background in algae.

about. Today's episode, we're kicking off with some base knowledge.

We're talking about plant pigments, what is their function in photosynthesis?

And I think even for those of you with a more scientific background, you're going to get a little

bit of knowledge you may not have otherwise had
