  • Great Phoenix Gardening advice

    I love listening to farmer Greg and his guests. Such a wide range of topics. Every episode leaves me excited to research or implement something new in the garden. I have steadily become more successful at gardening in the valley.

  • It’s okay for new gardens

    Greg is very annoying in lots of ways. You’ll pick up on that pretty quick. Good guests. Particularly the seed chats with the homie from Idaho.

    I am blown away by how great Greg is at teasing out stories from his guests! That makes it so much easier to remember the practical tips from each episode, because they are tied to specific anecdotes. Brilliant podcast!

  • Dry So. Cal.

    Thanks so much for tips on dry farming. Will you be addressing fog collection for water? We sometimes have “pea soup” mornings and I am wondering how useful this method is.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

999: Tales with Taylor interviews Greg Peterson
Q: What was one of your first crops growing up that shaped your path in urban farming?
Fruit trees were the first crops, and they taught me that with the right care and soil, trees can provide decades of harvest and become a cornerstone of a sustainable yard.
998: Water Harvesting Beyond the Basics with Don Titmus
Q: What are three easy things that people can do to start harvesting water?
Three easy starter actions are: (1) set up a five-gallon bucket brigade along eaves to catch rain, making sure to cover them to prevent mosquito breeding; (2) harvest condensate from an air conditioner, especially during humid seasons when moisture is plentiful; and (3) create shallow basins around existing trees and shrubs to guide rainwater directly to the root zones, forming simple donut-shaped basins that promote deep watering.
993: Building Regional Seed Sovereignty Through Community
Q: What is your favorite seed, and why is it significant to the collective?
Shelby discussed sorghum as a staple due to its productivity and regionally appropriate uses, and Leeza highlighted a cherry tomato, Maglia Rosa, as a standout in trials, illustrating the value of trials and shared taste experiences in selecting seeds for the collective.
993: Building Regional Seed Sovereignty Through Community
Q: How does the organization work, and how could others start a bioregional seed collective?
It began with a grant, a shared trailer for seed processing, and a process of bringing nearby farmers together to establish working groups, values, and equitable access. Others can replicate by identifying a driving region, securing shared resources, and fostering personal relationships built on trust.
993: Building Regional Seed Sovereignty Through Community
Q: What inspired this collective to get going?
The founders wanted a practical way to keep regional seeds alive, ensure collaborative access to equipment, and build a trusted network so seeds could thrive locally rather than being dictated by distant seed companies.
