Growing Vegetables with Sarah the Gardener

Kat chats with Sarah O'Neill, aka Sarah the Gardener, about the newly revised, fully Kiwi-fied edition of her book Growing Vegetables, now published locally through Upstart Press after originally being released for multiple hemispheres a decade ago. They discuss why growing your own veges is a smart, practical move as costs rise, and Sarah shares that gardening rewards patience and can even boost mental wellbeing through contact with beneficial soil bacteria.

Sarah answers a flurry of listener questions covering potato planting seasons, low-maintenance crops like beetroot, protecting brassicas from pests, organic fertilising tips, growing basil without a greenhouse, preventing brown rot in stonefruit, and dealing with troublesome slugs. You can head to bookstores nationwide to grab a copy.
