We Play for Team Allium!

About this episode

The episode discusses the benefits and varieties of alliums in gardening and cooking.

After waxing poetically about the present environmental state of affairs, we get deeper into the multiple layers of growing alliums. That magical, healthy family of plants that support our cooking and immune systems. We go over some details on several plants from the allium group, including bulbing onions, bunching onions, leeks, garlic, chives, and shallots. They all grow well in the four corners, and you should try to grow at least two varieties. Let's go allium!
