  • Favourite Gardening Podcast

    I’m in Australia in a cool, frost prone soggy corner and honestly this is the best gardening advice for my climate. I listen to episodes from 6 months ago to keep it in season with the antipodes. The only critique is every time they talk about their hot dry summers and cold damp winters I want to shout— PINK CASCADE LEPTOSPERMUMS, HONEY MYRTLE MELALEUCA, AUSSIE BOX WESTRINGIA, CALLISTEMONS!! We’ve been dealing with this hot+dry, cold+soggy climate for 100 years!!

  • Music over talk

    Have recently discovered this very interesting podcast. Am waaay over here in Oz. The only thing that I have difficulty with is that you put music behind a large percentage of the talk. I have a brain condition which makes the task of separating these. Your music between segments is good but sadly I mightn’t be able to continue. I asked my neurosurgeon said my feelings were quite valid Thanks

  • Very interesting

    Usefull and interesting. But please stop the silly music behind the voices like today with Nick. It makes it difficult to follow. Because of that only 4 stars.

  • Wonderful British Gardening Podcast

    I so appreciate the RHS for the extensive information provided about plants that work all over. As a home gardener in Iowa, I am so inspired by the great British gardeners and have learned so much. This is a favorite.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

511: Saving drought-hit plants, the wildlife wonder of apples, more bulb inspiration
Q: What about things like aphids? Are they actually a pest or something the garden can live with and benefit from?
Aphids are not pests to expel; they signal a healthy food web and can be managed by encouraging natural predators like birds and ladybirds, which will help keep populations in check.
511: Saving drought-hit plants, the wildlife wonder of apples, more bulb inspiration
Q: So let's give Elisa and everyone else listening some hope. If a plant has wilted leaves or it's lost a lot of its leaves, what should we do, Nick?
If it's a well-established plant in the soil, usually you should leave it to recover and monitor; you may see leaf drop as a natural response, and you can prune out dieback later if needed. For potted hydrangeas, act more cautiously since pots heat up and can exacerbate stress.
510: Magnificent mini-beasts, figs, and another bulb of the week
Q: What is the best way to start encouraging pollinators in a garden?
Create a variety of habitats, include flowers that provide nectar across seasons, allow some wild vegetation to grow, and incorporate features like shallow water with landing pebbles to support different life stages of pollinators.
509: Lovely lantanas, deadheading guide and our autumn bulb of the week
Q: Could you just give us a little introduction? What are Lantanas and why are they special?
Lantanas are versatile for UK gardens, flowering from summer into autumn in warm summers, with various colours and forms suitable for borders, containers, and even as standards; they require warmth and sun to perform best.
507: Heatwave survival guide for pots and powdery mildew mayhem
Q: What can I plant in shade?
For shaded areas, choose shade-tolerant plants like vinca minor, mahonias, ferns, and colorful carex grasses, and improve the soil with well-rotted manure or compost before planting in October when moister conditions help establish new plants.
