Hi, and welcome to Avant Gardeners.  In this episode we give you an intro into the lives of Emily and Maddie, two friends who live, play and garden on Melukerdee country in Tasmania's Huon Valley, with varying success. Both have unexpectedly landed on properties, with vast gardens, and very little know how. In future episodes we'll be inteviewing others, but in this episode it's all about us.  What we're drinking Merry Spiced Cherry Amaretto Sour (based on  this, recipe but with home made cherry sugar syrup inspired by Verona Stands, and aquafaba) References worth looking up Serious Backyard Vegetables, a past course by Milkwood Permaculture Matthew Evan's carrot top pesto recipe, available in The Commons Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
