Hello, my name is Jane Perrone, hosts of this here house plant podcast, and head honcho here at On the Ledge Towers.

Podcast mascot, Wolfie, my dog says hi, he's in the house because it's a bit too cold out here

in the office right now,

but he does wish to send you festive greetings and will appreciate a scratch behind the ears

at any time. What I like, though, is a five-star review for On the Ledge,

and that's what I've got from Katerina in Germany and into Planet Janet in the US who has just discovered

On the Ledge. I am so delighted to hear that you both love the show. And in this week's

On the Ledge, Springtails and Swiss cheese plants are our topics of concern.

Plus, we hear from listener Jonathan in Meet the Listener.

Thank you to Jonas for giving a donation via co-dash-fi.com.

If you don't want to make a monthly contribution to the show, this is a great way to give a one-off donation to On the ledge details in those show notes.

And thanks to Maria and Grace, who both joined the ranks of my Patreon supporters, Maria at the crazy plant person level and Grace as a legend.

If you feel like you're missing out on the extra content you get

when you become a Patreon at the legend or the superfan level, then do check out my show notes

for details about how to join. And remember, if you pay annually, you only pay for 10 months rather than 12. Bargain, as we say here in the UK.

Few housekeeping notes. Just remember there are two more shows for 2020. The first one's coming out next Friday.

Normal set up, normal time. Well, roughly normal time, and that's going to be an on the ledge

quiz of 2020. So pencil and paper required, there's no prizes, just the joy of testing your

knowledge of plants and on the ledge. So that will be going up on December the 18th and I'll put out an addendum with the

answers the following day. Then on Thursday, December the 24th, that's Christmas Eve, my bonus

episode will be coming out, which is going to be a something a bit different. I've just

finished it and I don't really know if it's any good. I hope you

...
