  • Thursday Highlight!

    Every Thursday, I get excited about another episode of Home Grown. Very informative but grounded in practical information (and a bit of humor), listening is a weekly highlight. Both speakers have a lovely podcast presence. I find a lot of the content applicable to the US, but my favorite thing is that the content isn’t just for people with estate gardens or large backyards. Added bonus is that it’s very “clean,” so I can listen with kids in the car.

  • My favourite but with one caveat!

    Love the show, but disappointed from the use of plant research from tel aviv university, knowing there is an ongoing genocide of Palestinians with farmers having their fertile land, olive and fruit trees destroyed. Rather than legitimising institutions built on stolen land please amplify the efforts of Palestinians trying to innovatively grow food while being trapped in an open air prison! There are many examples to research. Thank you💚

  • No fuss conversation between two friends

    I bloody love this podcast; two very down to earth people talking sense that I can understand without unnecessarily complicated big words. Who knew strawberries were asexual - I do now. They clearly have respect for each other and between them share a lot of information; I have only listened to two episode’s and I am on nil points from their quiz! Highly recommend 🌟

S1 Ep 28: What are Heirloom Seeds and Why do they Matter?: With Lucy Hutchings and Kate Cotterill
