USDA Map Heats Up! + Five Questions w/ Peggy Riccio
One of the biggest things happening in the (gardening) world right now is the new USDA Hardiness Zones Map! Plus horticulturist and garden educator Peggy Riccio is joining us on the podcast to talk about her information-packed garden website resource, pegplant.com and to answer 5 Questions!
Peggy talks about why basil is her favorite garden herb… and not just Genovese basil, but all of the basils! She also shares her recipe for flavorful Thai Basil Syrup.
Peggy runs the well-known garden resource website PegPlant.com and during the pandemic she launched a Facebook group dedicated to Culinary Herbs and Spices. You can find her FB group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/culinaryherbsandspices

The Whole Seed Catalog is loaded with beautiful photos and seed stories, including a couple of seed stories researched and written by Bevin. He’s giving away a free copy of this incredible catalog in the Seeds & Weeds Facebook Group!
One of the biggest things happening in the (gardening) world right now is the new USDA Hardiness Zones Map. The last map was released in 2012 and since then, more than half the country has shifted up a half-zone warmer!! Bevin shares his thoughts on this situation and reads an excerpt from a recent Associated Press article.
