Golden lemon balm

There’s lots of questions from listeners in episode 22 of the show. First up James tells us a little bit about his garden, and asks for help identifying a mystery plant.

Then Emma talks about how easy to grow lemon balm, and what you can use it for once it is established in your garden.

Patrick from Bifurcated Carrots gives us the first installment of the history of heirloom vegetables.

And the show concludes with a round up of emails from listeners, including questions on sourcing Bokashi bran in the US and how to deal with ants and spotted cucumber beetles.
