Hello and welcome to Save her protection of I Heart Radio, I'm Annie Reese and I'm Lauren Vocalbaum and today we're talking about Victory Gardens.

Yes, which was a listener suggestion from Allison so thank you Allison.

And this is another one that I'm not sure I would have ever thought to do an episode on myself.

So you listeners are always sending us the best suggestions.

Oh, absolutely and thank you.

Yes.

And as it turns out, we are sort of in a time of Victory Gardens or in people who weren't

previously gardening, gardening, trying to get food out of that.

Yeah, yeah, I know a lot of people who started up during quarantine a little bit of a backyard garden or a little bit of a potted garden somewhere in or around their home.

Here at the house we usually have a bunch of plants doing things.

Some of them grow food. Not reliably. I wouldn't say that we have a lot to do with it as much as like we pay them just enough attention to not kill them and sometimes we get produce out of it.

Yeah, I was always impressed when I would see whatever random things in my mind you were growing.

It is quite a collection between myself and my roommate.

There's the probably the silliest thing we've got are these two avocado trees that want to live in

Florida in the ground and instead we have them in these increasingly large pots.

And one of them is, I'm gonna say,

I'm gonna, I just looked up as though I can see the top of it

from my desk, I cannot, dear listener.

But it's maybe like nine feet tall now.

Wow.

And this is a thing that we have to bring into the house for winter.

Wow.
