Greg you rock! So good, so many tips, you are an excellent #gardening podcast guest – every gardener should read your book 🙂
Amazing chance to share my enthusiasm for edible gardening. Thanks for helping me spread some seeds to get more people enjoying the benefits of growing their own food!
Enjoyed the podcast, as always. Just wanted to say that we always grew cuccuzza at our house too. Did you know, that like many other squash you can eat the leaves as well as the fruit? The leaves work perfectly in Italian wedding soup, or just in vegetable broth with some garlic. 🙂
