With the days getting shorter and colder, Maggie and Dave decide to touch on a topic many of us face during this transitional time of year — seasonal depression. Dave's lists some of his favorite serotonin-boosting plants, Maggie shares a few gardening activities to do during the "off-months" and consider creating a "What Your Plants Say About You" quiz for all those looking for the deeper meaning in gardening. Plus, a listener's question about how long to keep grow lights on for, evolves into a great discussion about plant habits.
