Upside Down Tulips - A Garden Podcast

113. Get More Bang From Your Buck With Plants With More Than One Use

Listen Later

Our gardens are looking great for June.  Except it is August?!  Ah well. Christy and Edith are eating lettuce. Lettuce is bolting. We prevent bolting with a lawn chair. We are harvesting garlic. We are trying new ways to peel garlic. Edith is planting onions.  Christy forgot she planted onions. Plus, we celebrate what is reblooming and ponder where are all the Japanese beetles?

Then we jump in a fun topic:  Veggies and flowers with more than one use.

  • Find out the unique uses for other parts of garlic, chives and leeks.
  • What plants are we growing that we purposely let go to seed?
  • Don’t forget some plants you can eat more than the bottom – you can eat the tops, too!
  • Did you know other parts of raspberry bush are edible?
  • Are you eating stems and massaging your kale? You should! 
  • Who the heck is Euelle Gibbons?
  • We are not done! Roses, Calendula, Lavender, Nasturtium & Marigolds

    • A Special Treat:  Barbie and Robert Oppenheimer show up in a new pod play!
