Episode S1 Ep 54: All about the Alliums: Planting, Pests and Perennial Onions
In this weeks episode Martha and Jamie explore the pungent and versatile world of the allium family. From how to best grow familiar alliums such as onions, garlic and leeks, to perennial onions that can provide harvests for years. Packed with practical advice and useful anecdotes, they cover growing onions from seed or sets, overcoming common allium pests, multi-sowing to make more of a growing space, puddle planting leeks and so much more. Martha then tells the story of the special leeks she ate in Bahrain and asks listeners for help finding Egyptian kurrat and Persian tareh.
