  • Fun and Informative

    I always enjoy this podcast. I alternate between listening and watching (on YouTube) but never miss it. It addresses the gardening issues that we all face in our domestic gardens in a realistic way. It also celebrates the joy of gardening on a modest scale and frequently gives a fascinating insight to the people and companies that produce the seeds, plants and growing mediums we all rely on. In addition we get fabulous recipes to try: I’m definitely trying the carrot biryani!

  • Fun, Informative & Well Presented

    I guess I would say that - but check it out, Martin’s knowledge is unassailable, and Jill and I have a good laugh chatting with Martin about all things gardens, gardening and anything related. Martin always manages to grab a great guest and Jill has some mouthwatering recipes to try for yourself. We’ve got a weekly roundup of what you should be doing in your own garden and more importantly, if you get in touch we’ll answer your questions too!
