The Growing Season Jan 13, 2020, Fire And Spice

Jack and Matt McFarland get serious when chatting about the catastrophic fires raging through Australia. The guys approach it from a horticultural angle and dissect what caused a tragedy such as this, could it have been avoided and what is fuelling the continued burn? What is eucalyptus and how does it fit into all of this? Its a sobering look into a devastating scenario. Allison Johnston, of The Spice Trader, joins the guys to chat about spices and add some levity to the show. The trio unearth some interesting facts on your spices and tell some tales that will have you laughing yourself silly. Beavers and the sexual organs of plants are all discussed. We know its tough to take all of this in using an audio format, so we've supplied a visual accompaniment to the show with the podcast built right in. CLICK HERE.
