Fred gives tips for starting a veggie garden.

I am currently employed as a Digital Technology teacher Year 1-6 and coordinate STEM education and Sustainability at Dunsborough Primary School. Previously I taught Drama and Media Arts for many years developing confidence in students and giving them the opportunity to participate in whole school community Musical performances. I have developed and led whole school and community initiatives in sustainability education, the Arts and STEM education in Regional Western Australia for over 20 years. In the past 15 years at Dunsborough Primary I have had great impact in the sustainability education of the whole school community. 9 years of Annual Bay OK Day whole school environmental, science and marine education Excursion (750 + providers and community), 12 years of Active Transport Walking School Bus, 11 Years Waterwise, 11 Years Waste Wise, Solar Schools Project, 4 Sustainability Expos at Centrepoint Shopping Centre, developed an outdoor classroom, Science in the Veggie Garden, Chooks, Compost and a seasonal frog habitat. I manage the school partnership with Dunsborough Coast and Land Care to improve biodiversity, protecting the critically endangered western ringtail possum, and through revegetation of the Blythe Reserve and other locations. In 2019 I added soft plastics recycling to our regime and significantly reduced our landfill. In teaching digital technology I use the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals as an underlying context for project work where students create digital solutions to real problems using robotics and coding applications. Students share their learning and develop an increased global awareness through these projects. In 2020 my involvement in the new Dunsborough Djiljit Mia Aboriginal Themed Nature Based Gathering Place saw me work with the local custodians to determine culturally sensitive, appropriate reconciliation outcomes to be achieved through the project. These included acknowledgement of people place and country, caring for country through revegetating the adjacent Brook and 'Wongi' sharing stories. Students are contributing to the revegetation element which will help connect them to the place and its purpose. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keith: [00:00:00] Wintertime in North Carolina is a great time to start prepping your veggie garden, pulling out, finishing up excellent seeds and stuff from the fall. And you can do additional seasonal plannings and cover them, or you can do cover crops, which is a perfect way to get green manure back into the soil.When I do a cover crop, I usually do rye or like annual ryegrass or oats or, or white Clover, medium red Clover. The one thing I wouldn't do that sometimes you'll see in books is Crimson Clover, tall and beautiful in a field. It's beautiful on a farm, but it's big for a, for a residential garden.Joe: And when you say cover crop, I'm not familiar with that. That means when you're not using it as a garden; you put something over the whole thing. [00:01:00] And what's the benefit of that. Keith: You're pulling nitrogen out of the soil. So you're holding the nitrogen at the top level of the soil.So you're, you're pulling nitrogen up into the plant, and then you're creating green manure. So the, in the early spring, you go back in, and you cut it back down, and then you dig it around in, or you don't even have to cut it back down. If it's low enough, you dig it back into the. Joe: So it's better than just leaving it as open dirt.Exactly. Which doesn't look good if it rains and gets all over your lawn. Anyway, that's the one thing I was going to say Keith: sometimes, I'll dig everything out. I'll turn the soil a little bit. I'll rake it smooth. And then I'll take something like oats, winter oats, or annual rye, and I'll broadcast it across the garden.And then I just kind of rake it in with my hands or rake it in with rake water. It well. The other thing about it is it's just watching something grow is nice. And, and so all of a sudden, you, instead of having a garden, that's got an old, dead tomato in the middle of it. You've cleaned it up, and you've seeded it.And then you've got all this incredible green lush growth coming up in the wintertime. So it's nice, it's a nice view too. It's [00:02:00] like watching, you know, new green grass grow in your, in your lawn after the summertime. Instead of a cover crop, the other option you can do is go in. Plant lettuce, mustard, collards, some of the cool season stuff you would typically do in mid-August or February 15th is when you would do things like broccoli and that kind of stuff that needs a cool season to get going, to be able to root in.But going in and doing lettuce, you do the same thing this time of year prep. You prep the soil, you, you rake it out. You, you plant your lettuce, you plant it heavy and then cover it. And the lettuce comes back up. You've got some greens to harvest through the wintertime, and then when you cut it before, you've still got that green manure that you can kind of dig back into the soil, and it keeps the earth alive.It gives the microbes something to break down and start rereleasing nitrogen. The other thing this time of year is the soil test is probably one of the things that I would say 90% of the people don't. [00:03:00] It's perhaps one of the more important things to perfect the soil and optimal plant growth.And that's landscape plants and garden plants. But it's just one of those things. People, you know, data, and another day goes by. And I can't tell you the last time I've done a soil test in my yard, but it does make a difference if you're a new gardener or an older gardener and want to do something exciting.And, and, and something that you'll see. Great results from going ahead and doing a soil test. Then once you get the soil test, people will bring soil tests to us, and we'll go through them with them there. They're not highly complicated if you've got a science mind, but many times, people look at them and glaze over and they don't understand what they're looking at.But adding lime limes, probably the biggest thing that you can always add lime to, to North Carolina soil and, and almost most, I'd say 90% of the soil needs. But knowing the quantity of lime that you need is the thing. And so a lot of times you'll need [00:04:00] 20, 20 to 30 bags, an acre. Most people will buy 40 pounds, put half of it out, and think they've done something.And they haven't. So it's just, it's a good indicator of how much time you need. And kind of a starting point. And so you, if you do a soil test, you put 20 bags of lime out two years later, you may need ten more loads. It's, it's something that's constantly changing. You get a baseline, and then you can go from there.The other thing besides Lyme is fertilizer to, to the Mix organic fertilizer you can put out throughout the year, putting it out in the wintertime gives it a little bit of time to break down the microbes, start to break it down when we have warm weather. And give you a little bit more punch to the garden in the early spring.I wouldn't recommend doing a chemical fertilizer this time of year because you don't want to push new growth. You don't want to make them if you have garden plants in them. And then and then we have a real cold snap, and foilage gets burned, or flowers get burned, 90% of the people don't plant [00:05:00] cool-season vegetables at the right time. So prepping right now, you're preparing for a February 15. Plant date for cool-season vegetables, and we'll get vegetables at that time of year. We get a few trays. We don't sell many, and then two or three weeks pass, and we sell a few more, and we get a few more in people are still planting them on up until April, but to be successful, I like to plant right around February 15th through about March 15th.And then I cut it off. I think it's almost a waste of time after that. But we, you know, people are still coming in. They're looking for something to put into their garden. They're finally out moving around, and you know, they want to plant something. We still have them that time of year, but February 15th is like a great target date for cool-season stuff like broccoli and cauliflower and things that need time to root in and then push flowers at a later date.The target date for the warm season stuff is like Ms. Moore, like April 15th. That's our last freezer. But there, I think a lot of people push that date. I [00:06:00] usually I'm planting tomatoes like the first you know, in, in middle of March, you know, we get a warm spell, and it looks like it's going to be friendly for two weeks.I'll go ahead and start putting some stuff in the ground. But I don't see many great results from early planning, the tomatoes. I think they need that heat. To push growth. So they'll sit there, and they make grow roots. Still, they're not going to put a lot of top growth on, so things like tomatoes and peppers I'd usually wait until at least the 15th, and maybe even the end of the month when we have some heat. The other thing with tomatoes is that they like the warm weather when they're.So if you put a tomato in the middle of April, into April. Stagger, the planning. So you plant, you know, a couple of plants a month later, plant a couple more plants, you'll have tomatoes throughout the season. And then from those plants, I like to, you know, if you buy a four-inch plant, you've got a giant plant going in, you can get more variety.So you have, you know, if you buy for four-inch plants, you're paying a little bit more for them, but [00:07:00] you, you get a bigger start when you put them in. And then you've got more variety of types of tomatoes. You can grow. You can grow more petite cherry tomatoes. You can produce a giant sandwich of tomatoes.And then, later in the season, you can take a cutting off of that plan. And just actually literally cut the plant, but a little rooting hormone in it, and then stick it straight into the soil and the tomato root. And then you've got tomatoes going into up until frost or after for.So you can do things like fried green tomatoes, and that kind of thing, which is just fun, and green tomatoes will last, you know, well into the winter. So, you know, you put them in your cool drawer in the refrigerator or a back room, you can put a green tomato on the window sill and have it ripen up.So that's a nice way to have tomatoes going on into the wintertime. And then the last date, the second excellent season crop, is around August 15th. Cool-season veggies. It's the coldest part of the year. And the hottest part of the year is when you're planting them.[00:08:00] So it just doesn't make, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to most people, and it's, and it doesn't feel comfortable to be out there in the garden, but it's not a long project, and it's, it's fun to reap the rewards later on. So August 15th, you know, again, you're taking out some of your older, older plants, things that have spent some of the cooler season stuff.You might have cucumbers that have dwindled. You rake that stuff up. And then go ahead and start getting your broccoli and, having a good broccoli crop going into the wintertime again is another, another one. That'll last a long time, and you don't have to cut it all at one time, get your cuttings, and then come back in a couple of weeks later.You don't want it out there. Broccoli or cauliflower. You don't want out there is a hard, hard freeze. So it'll go down to about 25 20. So what 26 degrees. But I wouldn't go, you know, wouldn't let it go a whole lot cooler than that. And then you just kind of reap the benefits going into the fall.From there, we're starting that season over again. It's a perfect [00:09:00] growing season in North Carolina. And, and for those who haven't done gardening, start small and start in a bag. We're doing a lot of soft bag gardens. You can grow potatoes in a bay. You can grow.All the lettuces and cools these and stuff in a bag larger bags, you can do peppers and tomatoes. So for those people that don't have the space or that haven't gardened before, it's a great way to start a small garden. So get out there this year and enjoy veggie gardening. Stop in. If you have questions, we've got tons of people to help you out.And we'll see you soon.

Welcome back to another interview from the skill exchange calls that I've been running with Climate Farmers for our regenerative farming network in Europe.  This is one of the many community building activities that I've been organising to help to connect farmers around Europe to some of the best emerging information available, and to get their most important questions answered from our experts around the world.  In this session I had the chance to speak with Charles Dowding in Somerset in England. Many of you may already know Charles as an innovative gardener and author of nine books on caring for soil as well as productive ways to grow food with less weeding through no-dig management. At Homeacres, his small, intensive market garden Charles teaches, runs experiments and above all produces delicious food. Based on his experience of growing vegetables without tillage for 35 years he shows people from all walks of life how to grow more easily, enjoyably and in a time-efficient way.  Before we get started I want to remind all of you who would be interested in attending one of these skill exchange calls live in the future, all you have to do is be a registered farmer in Europe to receive the invitations and call links that we have coming up. I'm planning the next session with Nigel Palmer, author of the book “The Regenerative Growers Guide to Garden Amendments” later this month, so don't wait too long.

His family's enormous wealth stemmed from the enslavement of Jamaicans. Reclusive and eccentric, William is best known for his romance novel, The History of the Caliph Vathek (1782). William was fascinated with Italianate gardens. He especially enjoyed the landscape at Lansdown Cemetery after he installed a pleasure garden. He designed a large tower there and hoped to be buried in its shade near one of his favorite dogs. But it was not to be. The ground was considered unconsecrated, and the dog only made the situation even more untenable. And so, William's sarcophagus was moved to Abbey Cemetery in Bath. William once wrote, Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul to.   September 29, 1810 Birth of Elizabeth Gaskell, English writer. She married a Unitarian minister named William Gaskell, and his work led them both to help and advocate for the poor. In 1850, she met Charlotte Brontë at the summer home of a mutual acquaintance, and the two became instant friends. Once when Charlotte visited her, her shyness got the best of her, and Charlotte hid behind some curtains rather than meeting other visitors who had stopped by the Gaskell's Manchester home. After Charlotte died in 1855, her father, Patrick, asked Elizabeth to write her biography, which resulted in The Life of Charlotte Brontë (1857). Elizabeth's work included the novels Mary Barton (1848), Cranford (1851–53),  and North and South (1854–55). She once told her daughter, Marianne, It is hard work writing a novel all morning, spudding up dandelions all afternoon, and writing again at night. Elizabeth was a gardener, and she loved flowers - especially roses. Gardens, flowers, fragrances, and country life permeate her writing. In Ruth (1853), she wrote, With a bound, the sun of a molten fiery red came above the horizon, and immediately thousands of little birds sang out for joy, and a soft chorus of mysterious, glad murmurs came forth from the earth...waking the flower-buds to the life of another day. In Wives and Daughters (1865), she wrote, I would far rather have two or three lilies of the valley gathered for me by a person I like than the most expensive bouquet that could be bought!   September 29, 1920  Birth of Geoffry B. Charlesworth, garden author. Regarding the Devil's Claw or Tufted Horned Rampion (Physoplexis comosa), he wrote, We like people not just because they are good, kind, and pretty but for some indefinable spark, usually called "chemistry," that draws us to them and begs not to be analyzed too closely. Just so with plants. In that case, my favorite has to be Physoplexis comosa. This is not merely because I am writing at the beginning of July when the plant approaches maximum attractiveness. In A Gardener Obsessed (1994), he wrote, A garden is a Gymnasium; an outlet for energy, a place where accidents occur, where muscles develop, and fat is shed. — Uneventful living takes up most of our time. Gardening is part of it, possibly a trivial part to the rest of the world, but by no means less important to the gardener than the big events. In The Opinionated Gardener (1988), he wrote, Every gardener knows this greed. I heard a man looking at a group of plants say, “I have all the plants I need.” Ridiculous. He said it because he was leaving for South America the next day, and he didn't have his checkbook, and it was December, and he didn't have a cold frame.   Unearthed Words A minute ago, it was June. Now the weather is September. The crops are high, about to be cut, bright, golden, November? Unimaginable. Just a month away. The days are still warm, the air in the shadows sharper. The nights are sooner, chillier, the light a little less each time. Dark at half-past seven. Dark at quarter past seven, dark at seven. The greens of the trees have been duller since August since July really. But the flowers are still coming. The hedgerows are still humming. The shed is already full of apples, and the tree's still covered in them. The birds are on the powerlines. The swifts left a week ago. They're hundreds of miles from here by now, somewhere over the ocean. ― Ali Smith, Autumn   Grow That Garden Library Moths by David Lees and Alberto Zilli   This book came out in 2019, and the subtitle is A Complete Guide to Biology and Behavior. In this book, David and Alberto give us an expert reference to the vital insect group of moths. In many cases, moths rely on their ability to camouflage to survive and reproduce. Gardeners are attracted to brightly covered butterflies, but the work of moths in the environment is equally important. Now, of course, you can't have a practical guide to moths without spectacular illustrations, and this book has that in spades. Readers come away with an incredible appreciation for the diversity of these winged insects and their miraculous lifecycle - from egg to larva to cocoon to airborne adult. This book is 208 pages of the marvelous world of moths - and our world would be the lesser without them. You can get a copy of Moths by David Lees and Alberto Zilli and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $20   Today's Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart September 29, 1902 Birth of Jean Hersey, American garden writer and magazine feature writer. She lived in Westport, Connecticut, with a meadow instead of a front lawn and woodland and stream for a back yard. She wrote over a dozen books. Her first book was called I Like Gardening (1941), which one reviewer said: "makes one fairly itch to start a garden (bugs and insects included)." Jean is probably best known for The Shape of a Year (1967), a year-long almanac of her garden life. In her chapter on September, she wrote, September is a sweep of dusky, purple asters, a sumac branch swinging a fringe of scarlet leaves, and the bittersweet scent of wild grapes when I walk down the lane to the mailbox. September is a golden month of mellow sunlight and still, clear days. The ground grows cool to the touch, but the sun is still warm.  A hint of crisp freshness lies in the early hours of these mornings. Small creatures in the grass, as if realizing their days are numbered, cram the night air with sound. Everywhere goldenrod is full out.  One of the excitements of the month is the Organic Garden Club show. Bob and I were prowling around the night before, considering what I might enter and studying all our tomatoes. The large ones seemed pretty good, but all had the common scars on the top that don't make a bit of difference in the eating but aren't good for a show. There was a special charm to some smaller ones, volunteers, that grew out of the midst of the chard. Each one was perfect, not a blemish. These were larger than the cherry tomatoes. "They're about the size of ping-pong balls,” Bob said. "They must be a cross between the ordinary large ones and the cherry ones. Say – why not enter them as Ping-pong Tomatoes? So I did, selecting three perfect ones, and they won first prize overall tomatoes.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

14 Must Have Tools for The Vegetable Garden I call these the must-have list because they make gardening life a tonne easier. Of course you don't ‘have to have' every item, you can adjust according to your gardening needs.  If you don't have some of these don't feel you need to run out and buy them right away. Wait and see if you need them and then buy the right ones for you. 1. Gloves  I started with gloves because they are a gardeners saving grace. Some gardeners are totally pro gloves with every activity and some love the feeling of dirt on their hand but when it comes to handling spiky plants, putting in timer stakes or rooting around in an area where there may be a bitty or 2 then your gloves are your best friend.  Like most items on this list there is a wide range of gloves and even wider price range. I like to go for ones that are flexible but thick with a little bit of extra padding on the palms and fingers. This is because I use my gloves for heavy duty activities. When I am doing light activities like hand weeding, planting seeds or seedlings, light pruning and some harvesting I go bare hands all the way.  Choose the gloves that are compatible with the type of work you would wear them for.  2. Hand Trowel & Hand Fork I find these are a must have. If you haven't heard of these before let me explain. A trowel is a hand sized mini shovel and a hand fork is a mini hand sized fork. If you have raised beds I am sure you already have these in your kit.  Hand trowel is ideal for planting, digging, harvesting and smoothing. Hand fork is ideal for aerating the soil, cultivating, light weeding and more.  Handy tip - turn them upside down and use the handle to make the hole for your seeds or seedlings.  3. Digging Fork Because we have heavy clay soil I have 2 of them I use them that much. Each new garden bed requires it to be forked beforehand. Using a spade or shovel when the clay is hard is like digging into concrete and when it's wet it sticks to the blade. This is why the digging forks are forking priceless in our garden.   A digging fork can be used for a variety of things. Turning compost, turning soil, aerating and cultivating garden beds, loosening soil around plants and spreading mulch.  Don't confuse a digging fork which is what we are talking about with a pitch or sometimes called a garden fork. A garden digging fork has 4 to 6 thick tines that don't flex. A pitch or garden fork has 6 or more thinner tines that are flexible. It is used to move large quantities of lighter material like compost, mulch, straw or dry grass.  You might choose one of these if your garden calls for it. I have a spunky purple one that I use to pick up horse poo.  4. Hoe A garden hoe is great for getting into places where weeds might be a little out of reach during the growing season especially if your garden beds are large or a little crowded. There are several types of hoe that might be good for your garden. Depending on the job will depend on the hoe.  If you want to weed your garden use a paddle or draw hoe as it's designed to slice weeds off at their base. Use it like a broom, just like you are sweeping the weeds.  Another option is a stirrup hoe. This one you can stand at the end of the row and use a back and forth motion to cut through the roots of the weeds without too much soil disturbance.  Handheld hoes are available too but I use my trowel most of the time so I didn't bother with one.  5. Secateurs  Secateurs or garden shears are a must. And if you have a hubby like mine who likes to use them to cut hoses and all sorts of non plant materials then guard them with your life.  Your secateurs will be used for harvesting, pruning and taking cuttings. Keep them clean and sharp.  Ideally clean them after each use with some alcohol. This will help prevent spreading diseases from one plant to another, even ones you didn't know about.  Sharpen them or have them sharpened when needed. Sharp secateurs means less crushing damage to plant stems and this means less plant stress and potential for disease. And don't use your secateurs for non-plant things, as tempting as it is! This is what the next must-have item is for. 6. Scissors It's amazing the things you need scissors for in the garden. Twine to tie back plants, opening bags of compost, mulch etc, cutting off plant labels that just don't want to budge from their pot holder, opening seed packets and fertilisers, clearing out drip line nozzles, cutting hoses ect.  I use just old household scissors, nothing special.  7. Shovel and/or spade Firstly let's talk about the difference between a shovel and a spade.   A spade is generally wider with a curved blade with a little folded bit at the top called a step designed for you to step on and apply downward force. They have a shorter fatter handle with a T or D grip at the top. They are used for digging trenches, edging by helping to break apart the dirt as you dig into solid ground.  A shovel has a longer blade that is often curved inward, they have long handles that can sit at an angle to the blade and they don't have a T or D grip on the top of the handle and they don't have a step as they aren't designed for a downward force like a spade. They are used mainly in garden beds and for moving loose dirt.  Choose your garden weapon wisely. If you only have raised beds or pots then it's unlikely you will need a spade.  8. Rake A rake can be very handy in the garden. Again depending on your garden needs will depend on the rake you need. There are more rake choices out there than there are days in a month but by working out what you need it for will reduce the choice to one or maybe two. For raking leaves or cut grass on the lawn go for a plastic leaf rake. For levelling or loosening soil or raking rocks and larger clumps in garden beds then for a metal or bow rake which has hard thick metal tines I have always purchased the lower-priced products and have found them to work just as well.  9. Garden hose with adjustable nozzle  This is one you don't want to scrimp on. Get yourself a length of hose suitable for your garden size and location from the tap. No point buying a 10-metre hose when the corner of your vegetable garden is 25 metres away from the tap.  You also want to make sure that all connections are good quality and on tight. Check them regularly.  An adjustable nozzle means you can adjust the flow strength and flow type to suit the plant you are watering.  A few extra tips.  If you have hard to reach plants use a watering wand.  If you are someone who gets frustrated easily don't use an all in one recoil unit, go old school and wind it up yourself and put it on a hose hanger. If you are on tank water get yourself a timer that will cut out after a set period of time. The amount of times I have left the hose on after using it and it has popped due to the pressure is too many to count. We now always set the timer for 60 mins or less so that in the event that I leave it on and it has a failure we can only lose a limited amount of precious water from the tanks.  10. Watering Can A hand watering can is used for hand watering but also for liquid fertiliser application. It's far more directed than using a hose attachment. Make sure to clean the rose out regularly to prevent blockages, especially if you are using organic homemade garden teas like manure or weed tea. 11. Flexi Tub The all-purpose do everything garden tool. Haul compost, soil and mulch. Mix fertilisers carry harvests, the list is endless. Including keeping all your hand tools and bits and bobs together.  12. Wheelbarrow This one speaks for itself. If your garden isn't big enough for a full-sized barrow then consider a smaller caddy on wheels. When moving heavy items like bags or bulk soil you will save your back.    13. Timber Stakes These are super handy. Use them to prop up top-heavy plants, make a teepee for beans, peas or tomatoes. Lay them in the garden to delineate growing areas, especially handy when you have planted seeds in an established garden bed.    14. Compost System (bin or worm farm) Having a system to break down organic waste into usable compost is a must-have in my opinion. Especially if you are an organic gardener. For ideas on what system is suitable for you check out episode #4 Getting started with compost or my blog how to get started with composting.  It might seem like a lot but I guarantee that when you are out there in your garden having the right tools will make all the difference to how enjoyable your vegetable growing experience is.  This is my list and there are many many more tools out there that may be helpful to you. Before you dig deep into your pockets and buy all the fancy tools, ask yourself what will that tool do? Will it make gardening easier and can I do the same thing with a tool I already have? This approach has saved me from coming home with all the gadgets.

Sab and Jamie love nothing more than taking the show on the road, especially when it involves great food and wine! This week, SDD is live from Millbrook Winery for a chat with great mates and long term colleagues Guy Jeffreys (Executive chef) and Damien Hutton (Head Winemaker). Millbrook was recently named WA's top winery, so Damo and the team know how to make a bloody good drop. The food is also top notch, with Guy one of the first chef's in WA to source much of the kitchen's produce from the restaurant's own garden. So sit back, relax and pour yourself a big glass as Sab and Jamie take you to the Millbrook veggie patch and acclaimed vineyard.
