Meet our favorite vegetable varieties
This episode delves into the best vegetable varieties of our history. You can’t imagine not having our garden (or dinner plate). Carol shares her essential green bean variety (and tries to convince Daniel that she doesn’t taste like a tree). We ended the hour with some amazing twists about personal stories, growing hints, and how to fight some scary vegetable pests.
