Ep. 230 - The weather may dampen a few spirits, but gardening continues as Lucy visits RHS Wisley to trial some Tomatoes, Saul's first Ginger has flowered and listeners share some of their self-employed gardening experiences.

Talking Heads - a Gardening Podcast

The Summer season has come full circle again, that time of year where everyone enjoys being outside, especially in their gardens on a long, sunny day. Gardener's are still in full flow - planting out new beds, mowing their lawns and cajoling their vegetable gardens into burgeoning yields. It's a great time to be alive in horticulture as the show season reaches a crescendo, plant fairs almost every weekend threaten to empty your savings and open gardens throughout the UK inspire that next bit of work you will be doing in your own plot. As ever Lucy and Saul will bring you tales (and waffle) from their gardens, so join us every week for more horticultural high-jinx on Talking Heads.
Rain in the west and sun in the East, just goes to show how Lucy and Saul's gardening life can differ somewhat from week to week. However gardening aplenty continues, especially for many of our self-employed gardener's who share a few of their experiences with Lucy. Plus Lucy visits RHS Wisley for the first time in many years to taste-test some of the latest beefsteak Tomatoes that are on trial. Saul is also excited because #GingerSeason has started at his home garden, as exotic plants are starting their time to shine!
