Episode 20: Winter Gardening with Arzeena Hamir

With Jon away for this weeks recording, Blayne needed a guest and co-host, so he thought that Arzeena Hamir for Amara Farm would fill this role perfectly. The topic of this episode it winter gardening. The Comox Valley has an excellent climate for harvesting vegetables all winter long. If you have been interested in trying out some winter gardening, this episode will have some great tips for you. Remember to keep supporting our local farmers this winter as many of them will have fresh vegetables available during the "off season" Stop by and say Hi to Arzeena at the Market and pick up some Kale, Bok Choy, Mustard greens and many other delicious, fresh veggies. Thanks for being a good sport for join the podcast, and for having such a great community spirit Arzeena.
