This week I’m talking with Michalina Hunter of Cicada Seeds about Skirret (Sium sisarum). Skirret is a perennial root vegetable in the Apiaceae family that produces clumps of Parsnip like roots.

I usually stick just to audio, but Pascal showed so much cool stuff on the video, I’m releasing a video version… just this once.

This time Tim rejoins as co-host and we talk to Pascal Baudar about foraging wild seeds and grains. We cover basic techniques for harvesting and processing, along with how to forage in ecologically beneficial ways and many interesting ways to cook them.

In this Shorts episode I'm talking about teaching kids about plants. It basically boils down to inviting them to the topic, following what they are interested in, encouraging autonomy while offering enough support that they are likely to succeed. edgewood-nursery.com/podcast/2025...

Lots of Bob’s articles are currently missing from the USASK website, but you can find many of them archived at web.archive.org/web/20230406...

In the Q&A I answer a question about keeping honeybees.

This species of edible Honeysuckle grows widely across the extreme north and is gaining popularity as a crop in many northern climates. We cover their origins, cultivation needs, culinary uses and several other topics. We also take a minor detour into the topic of bush cherries.

In this episode of Propaganda By the Seed, I’m talking with Dr. Bob Bors about Haskaps. Bob spent many years working with this species and selected and named some of the best varieties around. edgewood-nursery.com/podcast/2025...

I’m starting to schedule interviews and I’ve got a bunch of plants I’m interested in cover where I don’t have a guest in mind. A ideal guest would have deep knowledge of the plant from years of personal experience. They could be a farmer, gardener, nursery producer, academic, breeder, herbalist etc.

We also discuss his work with Mt Joy Orchard, a free public orchard. Throughout this conversation we discuss some of the challenges of perennial vegetables, the health benefits and the history of pre-Columbian Americas as some of the largest food forest/agro-forestry projects in human history.

The Solecast: in this episode of The Solecast I talk with Aaron Parker of Edgewood Nursery. Aaron is a self-taught Horticulturist, Food forest designer and lover of Perennial Vegetables. We talk about food forest concepts and he breaks down some of his favorite perennial foods to grow & eat.

What plant would you like to see highlighted on a future episode of Propaganda By the Seed? Bonus points if you recommend a person to interview on that topic.

Today I’m talking about composting. It's a big topic so even though this is a bit longer than average for a short episode, it's really just an intro to the topic. I'll cover how different types of composting work and then focus in on my favorite, the static pile. edgewood-nursery.com/podcast/2025...

In the Q & A I try to answer Oliver's question about how much biodiversity is enough.
