Finger on the Pulse

Tino is at The Patch planting his favourite protein-packed pulses and grains. Pulses are the edible dried seed of legumes – that is peas beans – and they’re a great source of plant protein. To grow them, choose an open, sunny position with protection from strong winds. Only broad beans are frost hardy, so only plant them when the danger of frosts is over.

A Passion for Plants

Costa explores the home garden of a native plant propagator and collector. Gardening Australia first visited Brian in 2006, so Costa was keen to see how it’s developed since then. Brian says he didn’t realise he was a gardener until he married and bought a home. He joined the Australian Plants Society and became hooked on native plants, so he excavated the paths around his land, using the soil to raise up the garden beds to provide the good drainage that many native plants need.
