how to garden like a nonno
There is nothing better than having a nonno, and I should know: I had two of them. Nonnos are no-nonsense, hard-working and cheeky. They know how to fix things, how to make things, how to grow things, how to care for things. They basically know all the things.
If you want to learn how to grow your own food and cultivate your green thumb, then you need only look to the nonnos. These men have been growing more tomatoes, nespoli (loquats), cucumbers, figs, zucchinis, peaches, chillies, plums, capsicums, lettuce, peas and broad beans than their families could possibly eat for years.
Many nonnos are unlikely to share their knowledge, but I’ve been lucky enough to garden with my nonnos from a young age, and they taught me everything I know about gardening. I’ve done the hard work of learning from the masters, so now I can pass on all their tips and tricks to you.
