  • Best Garden Podcast

    Stumbled over this amazing podcast after listening to an Aussie gardening podcast for months and was sooo glad to find something local even if I’m in a different region.

    These ladies are so fun and warm to listen to, I feel like I’m in the room chatting with them.

    Such great information, well set out, very helpful and every minute is interesting.

    I look forward to each weeks episode and hope it continues on and on!

    Already I’ve learnt so much even after gardening for a good ten years.

Parsnips: Tough, Sweet and Slow to Germinate… But Worth the Wait?
Q: Do you know if you can do anything with parsnip leaves?
