Did you know that cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and kohlrabi are all the exact same species? This week we dig into the 2,500-year breeding project that turned one scrappy coastal weed into half your produce aisle — starting with a Greek botanist doing side-by-side taste tests in 400 BC, and ending with a president who declared war on broccoli. Grab your garden gloves (or just a snack) and settle in — this is one of our favorite history deep-dives yet!🎧 New podcast episodes every week.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
