Mitch Theissen // The Agrarian Kitchen, Compost, Soil Health, Japanese Salad Turnip
<p dir="ltr">Mitch Theissen has the enviable role of Head Gardener at the award winning Agrarian Kitchen in New Norfolk, just outside of Hobart.</p> <p dir="ltr">Having grown up in the Huon Valley, born into a long line of apple farmers, Mitch started his career in the kitchen, first in Hobart, then Sydney, before spending time in Japan. It was here that his thoughts returned to agriculture and produce, and upon returning to Australia he sought out the next phase of his career, landing this dream gig a few years ago and being pivotal in what it looks like, and how it operates, today. </p> <p dir="ltr">Mitch lives, works and gardens with his partner, and young family on the land of the wulawali people in New Norfolk, in lutruwita/Tasmania's Derwent Valley.</p> <p>Before we get to that, Emily and Maddie are (as well as talking over the top of each other -- sorry about that --) talking about radishes. Yep, that's about it.<br /> <br /> We also talk about </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">Compost</li> <li>Soil</li> <li>Salad spinners (lol, yes)</li> <li>And maybe you need to rush out to buy some Japanese Salad Turnip Seeds. IYIYK<br /> <br /> Mitch is recommending <a href= "https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-new-organic-grower-3rd-edition-eliot-coleman/book/9781603588171.html?source=pla&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21618274688&gbraid=0AAAAA-Ia9hMR6rL5I7qiVZ2GwoUW5rhzO&gclid=CjwKCAjwqubPBhBOEiwAzgZX2tDms-thUc5CYQd7pJ61nI5_KLO5vSEyhHqIsJLNhaIN6oesQIDhDxoCfbUQAvD_BwE"> Eliot Coleman's New Organic Gardener.</a></li> </ul>

Baklava Old Fashioned, Dehydrator Season and We Answer Your Questions!
<p class="p1">We're drinking a Baklava Old Fashioned - Maddie had leftover baklava syrup (sugar, water, cinnamon, honey) and has turned it into an old fashioned with burbon, amaretto and a dash of bitters. Absolutely delish!<br /> <br /> Emily has scored herself the perfect harvest basket, and her benchtop is housing a hard-working dehydrator as she works through the abundance of nashi pears.</p> <p class="p1">Maddie delves into the good and the bad dahlia chat. <br /> <br /> We discuss tree peonies and mimosa hydrangeas before delving into some questions that you - our amazing listeners - have asked of us. The ones we get into in this episode are:<br /> -What are some things you wish you could grow, and what would you never grow<br /> -How did you two meet?<br /> -What are your favourite cocktails.<br /> <br /> This was fun, and there are more questions to answer in future eps. Feel like asking us a question? Drop us a DM at <a href= "http://instagram.com/avantgardeners.podcast">@avantgardeners.podcast</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p>
