Bevin Cohen of Small House Farm in Michigan interviewed me on his podcast, Seeds and Weeds, episode #25. I talked about my website, pegplant.com; the Facebook group I created called Culinary Herbs and Spices; my favorite plant, basil, particularly Thai basil; this summer’s success with winter squash and Mexican mint marigold; and my new project to list new herbs for 2024. He asked who I would give a shout out to and I responded that I admire those who make it their life’s work to save seeds, particularly of cultures and certain groups of people. I gave a shout out to Truelove Seeds and their podcast Seeds and Their People for all their efforts to tell the stories of seeds and how the plants are used by the people who grow them.
