Apologies for the hiatus that gripped me through Winter. Will be touching more on this in the next full episode.

Apologies also for the horrendous pronunciation of certain words, for example, notoriety and Latin names of plants. (A blooper reel will be coming out with me stumbling over such words)

This lady was known in the plant world, literary world, and Art world. She also dabbled in geology and was remembered as a woman who didn't conform to the women of that era. Opting for trousers instead of the frilly dresses, hats, and gloves of that era.

Hello my dear leaflets. I hope you're excited for this mini. A little background of my I chode this lady. Before I went to Burnley College, to study Horticulture, I went to Dookie College. This was because I had wanted to do agriculture but wasn't really knowing in what aspect. I had completed an advanced Certificate in Farming the year before. Anyway, what has this to do with horticulture? It doesn't really. But as I am doing these minis on inspirational women, I thought I'd do this one on the first woman -"Long live the lady student" who studied and graduated from Dookie college.

Hello my dear leaflets!

This is finally happening. The crossover - YouTube and podcast episode on seeds. How long have I been speaking about this? Have I any listeners left? This has been in the pipework for ages and I tend to avoid things I get overwhelmed with, but here it is! Please, before you comment harshly, remember, this is my first dip into cross-platforms. Anyway, this will be the first of many over the lifecycle of a humble seed.

As I said this is my first step into video and audio, so I did edit both, and described as much as I could, However, there are a few I will add here, if you have no idea what I am talking about,

When I am at my art station, I talk about using a thing to extract the seeds out of a tomato. The thing I am using is a craft knife. Around this time, I also say"We cut like this." This means I cut the tomato in half.

When I am labeling, I use a Sharpie on a paper bag.

Hello my dear leaflets!

We're going to talk about what plants not to put any where near your vege patch, whether it be due to increasing pests or diseases, or you accidently poison yourself.

Apologies, I know I say this is episode 13, but its actually episode 12! The update I did a few eps ago stuffed me about.

Why should we have chickens in our backyards? How many can you have in the Suburbs? This does have a warning due to the brief talk on chicken death BUT. I will let you know when to fast forward.
