TGoG Podcast 089 – Suburban Food Farm Late Spring

November 6, 2014 @ 21:44 By Gavin Webber 6 Comments

[spp-player optin=”off”]

One of my regular Suburban Food Farm updates, this time for late spring.  We, hopefully, had our last frost of the season, so I have been going crazy in the garden planting up this season’s crops.

It certainly kept me busy for most of the long weekend we had here in Victoria.

During the show, I mentioned these links;

  • Fair Dinkum Seeds
  • Broad Bean and Chorizo Risotto
  • Late Planted Potatoes

I also talked about the method I use to harvest broad beans.  I mention the nitrogen nodules that grow on the roots.  For those who have never seen them, here is a photo I took the other day.

Near the end of the cast, I let you know about a recent newspaper interview which should appear in the Melton Leader soon, and a little about a blogging course that I taught last night, which is the reason the podcast episode is a day later than normal.

Also, if you live in the Melbourne area, and are interested in attending a very reasonably priced Blogging for Beginners course ($48 for 5 hour course), leave me a comment so I can gauge interest.  I am in two minds as if I should to run another one due to the fact that it took over 8 months to fill this course.

Thanks for listening to The Greening of Gavin podcast!

    The pumpkin is either a Lumina (white), Pink Banana or Galeux d’Eysines. 🙂

      Or it could be one of my generic ones but I think it’s one of the posh varieties.
