S4E6 Tess and Alyce chat about silverbeet, also known as swiss chard but whatever you want to call it, we'll give you all the tips to grow it! Silverbeet is a great crop for beginners, a little bit easier than spinach and just as versatile! Not sure how to eat or cook silverbeet? Alyce has a bunch of recommendations to tickle your tastebuds! 

S4E2 - Tess and Alyce chat about growing beans and an introduction into the two main varieties of bean plants - bush beans and climbing (or pole) beans. Don't know the difference? Listen along to find out more but here's the great news: the bush bean is perfect for anyone that has a little extra space this Summer. 

We've focussed on the fresh-eating beans in this episode, perhaps we need another one focusing on dried beans! But the planting and maintenance is the same for both fresh and dried beans, it's simply the harvest stage that differs. 

A little note for the newbies - broad beans or fava beans are a totally different kettle of fish for gardeners, and are grown throughout winter! So please don't use our tips in this episode for growing broad beans. We'll do another episode on them when the time is right (autumn!). 

** EDITOR'S NOTE: Alyce called beans a fruiting crop, they're actually a legume, lucky this makes zero difference to how they're grown! 

S4E1 Tess and Alyce chat about all the activities that will be keeping us busy this season, from the fun stuff like crops we can still plant and everyone's favourite, harvesting! To the less fun activities like weeding, fertiliser and protecting our crops from the pesky possums and birds. PLUS Tess and Alyce do a re-cap on Spring, how they went and their successes and failures.  

S3E13 It’s coming into summer which means, for many of us, hot and dry weather is on the way! Maybe you’ve got plans to go away, or you’re just living your busy life, either way you might be thinking about watering systems for your garden! In this week’s episode, Tess and Alyce chat about all about watering systems. From the basic sprinkler options to the more sophisticated dripper systems PLUS a bunch of great tips around tap splitters and timers.
