Ep. 227 - Returning to our gardens after BBCGWL, it's a wall of heat and humidity, but that doesn't stop Lucy and Saul with questions from listeners on Agretti and (weirdly) Waterproof coats, failing Sweet Peas and the need for ice cream!

Talking Heads - a Gardening Podcast

The Summer season has come full circle again, that time of year where everyone enjoys being outside, especially in their gardens on a long, sunny day. Gardener's are still in full flow - planting out new beds, mowing their lawns and cajoling their vegetable gardens into burgeoning yields. It's a great time to be alive in horticulture as the show season reaches a crescendo, plant fairs almost every weekend threaten to empty your savings and open gardens throughout the UK inspire that next bit of work you will be doing in your own plot. As ever Lucy and Saul will bring you tales (and waffle) from their gardens, so join us every week for more horticultural high-jinx on Talking Heads.
Well the Talking Heads pair have just about recovered from the NEC, until a bubble of exceptional hot weather appeared as we're getting down to serious gardening. So the pair try to keep going with ice-creams and dips into the pool or river. The years weird weather has also affected Saul's Sweet Peas, and he's not the only one as the Sweet Pea Society have had similar issues too. Listeners questions on Agretti and (of you live in the north) the need for Waterproof Clothing are also discussed - never a dull moment in the garden!
