This week on My Everyday Garden, Jodi shared her wisdom on
seed saving your winter crops, how to best use your worm juice or weed tea for
growing seedlings and what to plant in your garden to bring bees and
biodiversity. AND as always, we covered and discovered many more interesting
topics along the way thanks to our regular tangents and digression, oops.
Listen to the podcast to catch up with what Jodi had to share.

One of the things from the show I wanted to pick up here was
the discussion around the Spanish Ramallet tomatoes. Tomàtiga de Ramellet are from the Mallorca region and have a
thicker skin and a pasty flesh and in Spain are commonly strung by hand and
hung to dry. The tomatoes can then last for long periods and are actually used
all year round, usually after the more common tomatoes have finished their
season and have been used up. I want to put a call out to our listeners and
readers to ask whether someone is growing Ramallet tomatoes here in Australia?
If you are or know someone who is, please post the details or let us know on
the next show with Jodi on Wednesday 19th November. It would be
interesting to know and maybe we could do some seed sharing!!
On the topic of bringing diversity to your garden, we spoke
last month about insect hotels and I shared on the blog a few images for those,
like me, who had not seen them before. After chatting with Jodi off air this
week I discovered that Jodi actually makes these creative insect habitats
herself so feel free to contact us during next week’s show for any advice otherwise
head to Jodi’s etsy page to see what they’re all about.
