What good is a cake without the frosting? Sure, it still tastes good, but it isn\u2019t giving you its full potential. That\u2019s sort of what a garden is like without nooks and crannies plants: Good, but not as great as it could be. These tiny treasures fill in all the gaps and cracks of a landscape. They\u2019re great for planting between stepping stones or along the edges of walls. Often they\u2019re considered alpine plants, thriving in rocky soils and less than hospitable conditions\u2014but not always. Steve and Danielle do their best at giving options for nooks and crannies plants for sun, shade, and for various different soil types in this episode. Much to Steve\u2019s disappointment, there was no baked goods sampling during taping. \xa0\xa0
