“Through the ages”

Hi Strands fans. A nice easy one today. "Through the ages" can surely only refer to the various ages of human history, right?
The first three came quickly, as historians seem to agree that STONE, BRONZE and IRON ages neatly make up prehistory. I found all three at the top of the board, with HISTORY splitting the grid below as the spangram.
The remaining three were a bit trickier, but it became easier when I found SPACE just below the spangram. That made it clear I had two long answers to find, and I spotted INDUSTRIAL in the bottom-left corner for the first.
That just left INFORMATION to connect with the remaining letters to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. You may struggle with today's puzzle if you don't have green fingers. I certainly did anyway.
The 'Z' and 'X' both intrigued me, but I couldn't find a way to land either. So I opted for a clue which revealed the 'Z' to be part of AZALEA. Now I knew it was about plants, it clicked that 'X' was part of FOXGLOVE and I was away.
What do I know about these two plants? Very little, but that they're both POISONOUS. And that turned out to be the spangram which ran from the top-left corner to the bottom right.
I had three gaps to fill. HEMLOCK was obvious between the end of the spangram and FOXGLOVE, and I then found BELLADONNA on the left-hand side. That just left OLEANDER to complete the puzzle.
