Lynda introduces Lee-Anne and Chris to the wonderful world of herbs - for homemade remedies, herbal teas & summer salads, while Heather seeks out unusual exotic crops to experiment with.
This week the focus is on garden maintenance, and even though the Coopey's garden is flourishing they need to learn all about feeding to ensure there is a continued abundance of healthy crops. Lynda also introduces them to the two most important 'W's' in gardening – watering and weeding.
Sharing fresh produce is as satisfying as growing your own so tonight Lynda and the Coles look at school and community gardens, and Lynda teaches the family all about pickling & preserving, sharing some of her favourite recipes.
