Summary

What do you do with an overload of freshly-harvested garden produce? In this week's episode, Jacques and Kevin chat about ways to store that harvest for longer, why upskilling your fundamentals in cooking is essential, and what they do to use those veggies. They also discuss their recent visit to incredible pond landscapes with Laura from Garden Answer and Greg from Aquascapes.
