The term 'polar vortex' may have been living rent free in your brain the last couple of weeks. As temperatures plunged across the country, we saw people doing boiling water to throw into the air, people eating frozen noodles, and toilet paper sculptures. In this episode, we explore how this extreme weather event impacts our gardens and houseplants? We'll also uncover a hidden tropical paradise in Calgary, and talk about domesticating bugs.
