I've been getting a lot of requests for more crop-specific episodes next season. I love these episodes and would be happy create more if we reach our campaign goal. Remember that everyone who contributes any amount to the 2019 kickstarter campaign will have the opportunity to vote on the topics we cover in 4 of the episodes. But in the meantime, I thought I’d share this episode on Cauliflower from the 2018 season! Enjoy.
We're 50% Funded!! Our campaign ends on 2/1/2019, so if you're planning to contribute, now's the time :)
Check out our Kickstarter campaign to help bring the 2019 season of the Encyclopedia Botanica Podcast to life!
