On the show today: Gardening Hour sees Olympia and Arno King discuss preparing beds for planting beautiful and bright Hippeastrums, especially great as they are on sale at the moment. Arno also identifies an invasive weed, provides tips for growing cape gooseberries and talks about how plants survive in the wild without fertiliser. PLUS Arno’s plant of the week: the QLD Blue Pumpkin! A winter veg favourite. 

In the second hour, Dry July kicks off for many tomorrow and Burleigh’s Sobah Beverages has you covered. Proud Gamilaraay man, psychologist, and founder of Sobah Beverages brewery, Dr Clinton Schultz, joins Olympia to talk about what they offer and why there is still a bit of stigma around being sober in social situations.
It’s also the last day to donate to the Salvos Red Shield Appeal! So we hear from Goodna Chaplain Micalie Adamson who tells us more about her story and the important work the Salvos do.
PLUS another edition of Olympia’s Food Olympics! Umar Nguyen from The Fish Girl joins Olympia to deep dive into the Australian seafood industry and how she is using AI to help with sustainability practices in her businesses.
