Mickey reviews her year of podcasting in the Kitchen Garden, reminding us that a garden requires vigilance and nurture as well as a good deal of physical labour….but then, it is a labour of love! A constant cycle for the gardener and garden; it’s a symbiotic relationship that yields wide ranging benefits, from sense of purpose, to health and diet. It’s just plain good for the  soul. Get your  children into the garden! Enjoy it with them and don’t forget to revisit the episodes at the beginning of each month. We look forward to welcoming you to Glenmore House one day soon. www.glenmorehouse.com.au  Instagram: @glenmorehouse 

In the Kitchen Garden with Mickey

Season Wrap

Although a final episode to wrap the series is in the wings; Mickey closes out the year of monthly podcast episodes during this time of enormous bounty. The seasons have come full circle and on the cusp of spring; peas, broad beans, cape gooseberries and scented stock take centre stage. The kitchen garden is a fine dance between looking attractive and fulfilling its purpose: that of supplying the kitchen. www.glenmorehouse.com.au  Instagram: @glenmorehouse 

S1, Ep 12 - Late Winter and The Cusp of Spring...

 Now that the howling winds have subsided, Mickey delights in her annual pruning, allowing fresh air and light to penetrate the soil. Episode 11 is filled with news of broad beans, purple peas, lettuces and kale,  oranges, lemons and clementines too. And Mickey shares some important insect net tips.  ww.glenmorehouse.com.au  Instagram: @glenmorehouse  

S1, Ep 11 - Mid Winter

With the passing of the winter solstice, the cool season’s veg gather momentum. Mickey reflects on the dual requirements of a kitchen garden: that of supplying the kitchen, as well as providing a feast  for the eye. Balancing the two is the name of the game.  www.glenmorehouse.com.au  Instagram: @glenmorehouse
