In this episode, I continue my cross-Canada tour to hear about top veggie varieties.
I’m joined by my former co-host, horticulturist, author, and longtime gardening educator Donna Balzer to talk all about her favourite vegetable varieties.
Donna shares her long-time favourite varieties—the ones she grows year after year—as well as varieties that have recently impressed her.
Donna and I wrote No Guff Vegetable Gardening together in 2011, and I’m a big fan of her approach to gardening. (If you’re looking for a copy of this Canadian classic, drop by Donna’s website.)
Whether you're planning your garden or interested in hearing about interesting varieties, this conversation will give you ideas for your 2026 garden.
