In this month’s podcast club release, we’re tuning into an episode of the Growing For Market Podcast. Michalina Hunter of Cicada Seeds discusses the benefits of planting perennial vegetables and how to grow and care for them.

From the show’s summary: “Michalina highlights the advantages of vegetables that you can plant once and harvest many times, including crops like skirret, spinach vine, perennial kale, perpetual leeks, perennial celery, sweet lettuce and more.
They also talk about how to propagate perennial crops, since some of them involve techniques like cold stratification or vegetative propagation to get them going. Lastly, they discuss how to prepare the ground for crops that are going to be there for the long haul, and the participatory research project Michalina is starting to get feedback on from growers about these perennial crops.”
If you’re looking for new crops to introduce this season, you won’t want to miss this episode!
