This week, we're joined by Corey Finke of Phocas Seeds—an heirloom seed wizard and regenerative grower based in Connecticut. We dive into Corey's process for harvesting tobacco, what’s growing strong in our summer gardens, and swap stories from the unforgettable backyard BBQ at The Grateful Gardener’s house. From seed saving tips to smoky cookout vibes, this one’s got that mid-summer magic. Roll one up and tune in.

This week on Havin' a Wonderful Time, Paranoid Grower sits down with special guest NerdGrows for a laid-back sesh following their epic hangout at Johnny Apple's BBQ ( @youraveragegrow ).
