I had such a wonderful time listening to this Podcast. Learned some new things, like 'viral' can be a good thing and sowing poppy seeds in winter.
Even some of us in more northern climates can grow short season sweet potatoes using varieties like Georgia Jet from Teritorial Seed Company. They offer so many short season type crops for us northerners.

And tomato seeds are one of the easiest of the winter sow (milk jug) seeds to grow.

I haven't tried sowing the tender annuals this way, but think I will be giving it a try about March using zinnia, petunias and basil.
We have been in the 20°F temps for over a week now. Today the ground has thawed and it's 32°. Went out and took photos of bulbs that are peeking through the soil right now. How exciting.

Muscari macrocarpum 'Golden Fragrance' This will be the second year for this muscari. I wasn't very impressed with it last spring, hope it does better this year. The foliage actually comes up in the fall, but I see little buds poking up from the middle of the leaves.
Tulipa 'Little Beauty' I love the foliage on this tiny tulip. I didn't know it would break dormancy this early, must be an early bloomer for a tulip.
I can't wait to see how your mushrooms do.
Loved the 'Top 5/10 List' from the two of you.
Looking forward to the next Podcast. So much to learn, and so little time.
