In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would Jacques and Kris grow? Probably not a plant you can only harvest once, and certainly one that tastes good. Here they discuss their favorite veggie plants that provide plenty of calories, and have great adaptability.
Connect With Jacques and Kris:
Kris Moriarty and Jacques Lyakov are great gardeners, and some of the first Epic Gardening team members. As the resident Garden Hermit and the Director of Customer Experience at Epic, both have the skills to grow a lush and vibrant garden full of food for themselves and their families. They teach other people to grow too. Kris even does this in her side consulting business, called Grow A Lil Garden, where she helps people build their own gardens. With a practical understanding of gardening, as well as a knack for flavor, Jacques and Kris are taking over the pod this week to share their knowledge and skills with The Beet Podcast listeners.
