Kitchen Scrap Gardening: From Avacado to Ginger to Citrus

Are you thinking of growing a potted olive tree? Or maybe you already have one…but you’re still waiting for olives. Olive trees are tough as nails. They can take more cold than many people realize. And they’re really beautiful, too. Put these all together, and you have a great potted plant for a cold-climate garden.
In my new book, Grow Olives Where You Think You Can't, I tell you everything you need to know to successfully grow an olive tree in a pot!

Grow What's in Your Kitchen!
In this episode, we head to Vermont and get great ideas for what we can grow right now, in early spring, using what’s in the kitchen. 

We talk about kitchen-scrap gardening with Em Shipman, Executive Director at KidsGardening.

Em also tells us about Kids Garden Month, with lots of fun activities and prizes for kids.

We talk about:
  • Growing small seeds from the kitchen (e.g. citrus)
  • Growing large seeds (e.g. mango, avacado)
  • Growing roots and tubers and rhizomes (e.g. ginger, sweet potato)
  • Things for kids to do in the garden in early spring
  • Kids Garden Month
