  • 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.

  • Superb show!

    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.

1012: Grow Little for Big Impact: Rachel Opio of Little Lighthouse Farm
Q: What does regenerative agriculture mean in general? But in the context of your farm, what does it mean?
Opio prioritizes soil health and regular soil testing, plants diverse companion crops rather than single-crop rows, avoids tilling, uses chickens to cultivate designated areas, and maintains flowering plants to support bees.
1013: Finding Joy in the Garden with Kristin Battafarano
Q: And what final piece of advice do you have for our listeners?
She encourages listeners to stay curious, seek work and activities that bring joy, take chances outside the norm, and try to understand why other people think and feel as they do.
1012: Grow Little for Big Impact: Rachel Opio of Little Lighthouse Farm
Q: So tell us about your journey into farming. It's pretty magical.
Opio had long wanted to farm but first worked in technology. After her mother died, she cleared the family's overgrown garden and realized it could produce food for her household and neighbors, which inspired her to turn the property into a farm.
1013: Finding Joy in the Garden with Kristin Battafarano
Q: Can you open the blanks for us? Share more about the path you took to get where you're at today.
After finding office and digital illustration work unfulfilling, Battafarano volunteered on Matt Sur's organic farm. Hands-on work, growing food and the sense of community she found there redirected her toward horticulture and gardening.
1011: Getting Viable Seeds: How to Harvest, Save, and Grow Your Own
Q: How does this viability apply to harvesting from grocery stores? I guess it depends on what you're harvesting, right?
Many grocery-store tomatoes can provide viable seeds. Pepper seeds may be more mature if the fruit is allowed to ripen until red, and seeds from squash and melons may also be worth saving. Results can vary, especially with hybrids or seedless varieties.
