  • 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.

  • Really

    I thought I could come here and listen to gardening advice, which occasionally there is and then it’s enjoyable, but way way too much rhetoric “climate change” alarmism, a shame you choose to destroy an otherwise great idea.

When seasons slip: How to maximise your garden for plants and wildlife

From Soil to Plate: Raymond Blanc’s Kitchen Garden
Q: If you could change one thing about the way gardeners cook their own produce, what would you change?

From Soil to Plate: Raymond Blanc’s Kitchen Garden
Q: Do you think there's a difference in the way that French and English gardeners have selected their varieties over the years?
Raymond shares stories of British gardeners being obsessed with size rather than flavor, and recounts his own experiences as a young chef learning about the importance of growing the right varieties.
From Soil to Plate: Raymond Blanc’s Kitchen Garden
Q: Can you elaborate on the quote "your earth is your gold"?
