  • Mini 7 Irene Lowe
    Jun 25 2024

    Hello my dear leaflets. I hope you're excited for this mini. A little background of my I chode this lady. Before I went to Burnley College, to study Horticulture, I went to Dookie College. This was because I had wanted to do agriculture but wasn't really knowing in what aspect. I had completed an advanced Certificate in Farming the year before. Anyway, what has this to do with horticulture? It doesn't really. But as I am doing these minis on inspirational women, I thought I'd do this one on the first woman -"Long live the lady student" who studied and graduated from Dookie college.

  • Seeds, episode 15, part 1
    May 21 2024

    Hello my dear leaflets!

    This is finally happening. The crossover - YouTube and podcast episode on seeds. How long have I been speaking about this? Have I any listeners left? This has been in the pipework for ages and I tend to avoid things I get overwhelmed with, but here it is! Please, before you comment harshly, remember, this is my first dip into cross-platforms. Anyway, this will be the first of many over the lifecycle of a humble seed.

    As I said this is my first step into video and audio, so I did edit both, and described as much as I could, However, there are a few I will add here, if you have no idea what I am talking about,

    When I am at my art station, I talk about using a thing to extract the seeds out of a tomato. The thing I am using is a craft knife. Around this time, I also say"We cut like this." This means I cut the tomato in half.

    When I am labeling, I use a Sharpie on a paper bag.

  • Episode 12 Chickens and Summer
    Feb 19 2024

    Apologies, I know I say this is episode 13, but its actually episode 12! The update I did a few eps ago stuffed me about.

    Why should we have chickens in our backyards? How many can you have in the Suburbs? This does have a warning due to the brief talk on chicken death BUT. I will let you know when to fast forward.
