  • Music or not

    Love this podcast but have different separating the music from the talk. This IS a medical condition if you Google it. Music between segments is quite gentle & lovely but please cease whenever talk begins. Thanks from night owl in Oz

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dan Pearson on the value of gardening slowly, lavender alternatives and getting peonies to flower
Q: Connie asks for lavender hedge alternatives for a north-facing wall; what are suitable replacements?
Colin suggests Nepeta (catmint) as a close look-alike, and also mentions evergreen hedge options like Sutherlandiae and various forms of Yonomus as long-term edge plants that provide color and structure without reproducing lavender's scent.
Sarah Raven and Shane Connolly on cut flowers, gardening with a disability and Adam Frost's bulb of the month
Q: What makes a vase last, and which varieties have superior vase life?
They discuss zinnias (including hageriana) and a sweet william (Dianthus electron mix) as having long vase lives, with practical notes on drying and sustainability.
Celebrating tulip time, making pampass plume and preventing peony problems
Q: What's the best way to handle peony problems like blackened buds after frost?
Likely frost damage rather than disease; avoid disturbing the plant and consider removing the flowering stalks if necessary, and ensure not to over-mulch around the crown to prevent further issues.
Celebrating tulip time, making pampass plume and preventing peony problems
Q: What should I do if my pampas grass is not flowering yet?
Be patient as pampas grass often takes two to three years to settle and flower; ensure sun exposure and consider improving drainage or using a sand amendment, and avoid overfeeding.
Celebrating tulip time, making pampass plume and preventing peony problems
Q: Tell me about pampas grass and why yours is thriving in such a sunny spot.
The guest explains pampas grass needs sun and can take a couple of years to establish; ensure good drainage and consider sand to improve drainage on heavy soils. If not flowering, patience is advised and the plant should flower better next year.
