Thanks for following me on Folia. I took some advice from this podcast. I'll take your warning and grow my chamomile in a pot rather than in my garden. I drink chamomile tea about every other night, so I'm sure I'll have use for it.

For future podcast, could you list the names of the plants (common and scientific) that you mention? Maybe product names too. It's hard to jot down the names of plants and look them up, especially if I don't know the spelling.

I understand why you wouldn't want to transcribe the whole podcuast, but just names in the notes would be so helpful.

Glad to know I'm not the only one! The lemongrass growing out the top has done very well, so I think I may cover the side pockets with some nice looking moss and leave it to its own devices.

Hi Elise - Strawberry pots are widely known to be difficult to grow in. Water distribution is the problem. Some have adopted them with perforated pvc to help with water distribution. VERY interesting podcast. Thanks for sharing, Elise
