    This is by far my most favourite podcast to listen to right now. I’m learning so many fascinating new things about growing vegetables. I have excitement and hope that I can grow more productively and with a wider variety of veg than I had ever considered before.

    Thank you for your continued inspiration Jamie and Martha (bokashi here I come!)

  • Lemon Balm for the Soul

    Just a lovely feast for the ears if you’re looking to up your gardening game, try something new in your plant patch or just want to listen to two really knowledgable gardeners chat all things green fingered. Think Gardener’s Question Time for Millenials/Zellenials. JOYFUL.

  • LOVE this!

    I’m a new allotment holder and am therefore so pleased to have found this podcast - thank you so much for making it! Every episode is so full of useful tips and facts and it’s great to feel supported while I try and get the hang of what I’m doing. But mostly it’s just lovely to listen to two really good people who share my love of growing, food and nature 💚

  • Wonderful for learning and growing!

    I love listening to their growing tips and have implemented a few myself! It’s always nice to hear failure stories as well as success so we know we’re not alone when things go wrong in the garden!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S1 Ep 54: All about the Alliums: Planting, Pests and Perennial Onions
Q: I have some I planted in the spring, but are so small, never got big. Can I use them as onion sets this fall?
They can be replanted, but because they were not heat-treated like commercial sets, they are likely to flower rather than form larger bulbs. The hosts suggest trying some and eating others, since even small onions are useful in cooking or pickling.
S1 Ep 53: Trees and Why They Matter: with Charity Wakefield and Danny Clarke
Q: What can people do to help protect trees and increase tree cover?
The guests recommend planting trees, supporting community tree-planting efforts, watering young trees, choosing climate- and site-appropriate species, and protecting existing mature trees and hedgerows.
S1 Ep 53: Trees and Why They Matter: with Charity Wakefield and Danny Clarke
Q: What can gardeners do to bring more trees into small gardens and urban spaces?
Danny Clarke says there are trees suitable for different spaces, and that gardeners should choose species that fit the site rather than avoiding trees altogether. Charity Wakefield adds that residents can work with local groups and councils to fund, plant and care for street trees.
S1 Ep 44: Edimental Gardening: Plants that Taste as Good as they Look!
Q: Are there any plants or herbs other than aloe vera you would recommend for sunscreen or after sun?
They discuss watermelon rind as a traditional after-sun remedy, and Aloe Vera remains a common reference, with emphasis on experimenting carefully and acknowledging the limits of home remedies.
S1 Ep 28: What are Heirloom Seeds and Why do they Matter?: With Lucy Hutchings and Kate Cotterill
Q: How do you source and test new varieties before selling them?
We work with a wide network of artisan growers, run trial gardens across the UK, and only sell varieties that perform well in UK climates, ensuring they're true-to-type open-pollinated seeds.
