White Strawberries
Welcome to White Strawberries, the podcast where gardening meets health and adventure, and sustainability feels joyful—not stressful.
I’m Sam, a permaculture gardener, educator, explorer on a mission to share the joy of growing and living well with the land. In each episode, we explore how to garden with purpose and laziness (I mean efficiency), curiosity, and fun. Eating a diversity of life giving foods in order to live our best in our current seasons. I get to have conversations with experts in their fields around all things nature. I know you'll learn something, and I will too!
May your strawberries be white and your curiosity never ending.

Conversation: Pruning, Cuttings & a Not-So-Happy Lemon Tree (Q&A with Becks)
In today’s Q&A-style episode, I chat with Becks, who’s growing food on a small urban section packed with subtropical and Mediterranean microclimates. We talk through her real-life garden dilemmas—from a wayward apple tree branch and overachieving feijoas, to pruning grapevines and getting citrus trees back on track.
We cover:
🍏 How to prune an espaliered apple tree
🍇 When and how to cut back grapevines
🌱 How to take a cutting and get it growing
🍋 What to do when your lemon tree looks sad and wobbly
🪴 Why feijoas fruit like mad—and how to prune them to suit your space
If you’ve ever wondered how to shape your trees, take a cutting, or diagnose citrus struggles, this one’s for you.
✨ Bonus: I've shared a visual demo of nodes, cuttings, and branches over on socials.
