Jeannette heads to agricultural bootcamp, Jonathan drags GMO propaganda, and a chewed-up bird sparks a hawk-related identity crisis. Meanwhile, primrose struts onto the scene kinky, poly, and radiating pure femme energy.

Roses are red, but the history is unsurprisingly gay. Jeannette contemplates opening up her marriage (mainly to get out of doing dishes), while Jonathan reveals that not all thorns are created equal - every rose just has its prickle.

We dig up the potentially queer-coded roots of Salem’s garden history, including Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver: pioneering women in landscape architecture... or just very good friends? Plus: wartime rose protection tactics, botanical sex sprays gone wrong, and the lingering haunt of rose energy in the bedroom.

Welcome to the very first episode of Plant Sluts! Meet your hosts Jonathan and Jeannette as they dig into how a global pandemic finally cleared the community garden waitlist (silver linings, folks), why Jeannette swears a rosemary cutting got her a house (and we're not questioning it), and whether lemon balm can actually treat depression and HIV.

Plus: we spill the tea at the unexpected intersection of Grindr hookups and heirloom tomato swaps. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll wonder why your garden’s never been this spicy.
