On Tuesday night I interviewed Tino Carnevale. And it was so much fun.
We chatted about how he got to where he is now, the Stephanie Alexander School Gardens project, and about getting started when growing your own food.
I fully agree with him that the first place anybody should start when growing food is herbage. Herbs are so darn expensive and you have to buy a whole bunch at a time which usually liquefies in the bottom of the freezer. But growing your own can be so rewarding. I think position is very important, you want the herb bed close to the kitchen so you can run out there, mid cooking, grab a handful of herbs, and bang, throw it in the pot.
And the best thing is that everything will taste awesome. Start off with rosemary (goes with lamb, hard to kill), parsley (goes with anything, keep planting it, or let it go to seed and it will sprout everywhere), and coriander (goes with asian, same growing for parsley)
And here is the audio from the show
