The Gardenangelists: Flowers, Veggies, and All the Best Dirt
Are you ready to be converted to living a gardening life? Each week, join Carol Michel and Dee Nash, both passionate gardeners, authors, and long-time bloggers, as they chat over the garden fence about flowers, veggies, and all the best dirt on gardening. Carol and Dee have the audacity to call themselves gardenangelists, evangelists for gardening, and want everyone to dig in the dirt, sow a few seeds, and enjoy the simple pleasures and even a few pitfalls of a gardening life. If you are ready to live a gardening life or already live one this is one podcast you don’t want to miss.
The Gardenangelists: Flowers, Veggies, and All the Best Dirt
E21 - Daffodils and the How and Why of a Basic Vegetable Garden
The Gardenangelists, Dee and Carol, talk about daffodils and how easy they are to grow and how most critters won't touch them. And for those new to growing vegetables, they cover a range of topics including the benefits of raised beds and which plants to grow from seed and which to buy plants for. One of the best reasons to grow your own vegetables is to ensure you are getting vegetable grown without pesticides! For example, easy-to-grow kale has been named number 3 in the Dirty Dozen of pesticide-laden vegetables. But kale is so good for you. Grow your own or buy organic. If you'd like to make your own kale chips, Dee has a recipe on her blog.
For all the best dirt, they recommend listeners tune in to episodes of BBC's Gardeners World with host Monty Don. New episodes are sometimes available for a short time on YouTube and past seasons are available through streaming services, including BritBox.
