Talking Heads - a Gardening Podcast
Ep. 253 - Lucy and Saul get up extra early for this episode, to record a morning of car breakdowns, salty planting and whether it's a good idea to live in the garden you work at - and all without having a coffee!
Well winter is on our doorsteps, and for the general population any thoughts of gardening stops, as the common thought is the 'garden has gone to sleep'...Well nothing could be farther from the truth, as the season of shorter days and chilly weather could be one of the most important and busy in the yearly life of your garden. Join Lucy and Saul every week as they show you exactly how busy they are, whether getting everything festive for Xmas, clearing up after the latest storm, enjoying the emergent shoots of early flowering plants or getting ready for spring and a return to the start of the great garden cycle!
(*Warning*) This weeks episode was recorded very early on a Monday morning, and Lucy had not had her usual coffee!
The Talking Heads pair are beset with problems this week - or should we say Saul has suffered a breakdown - the car that is - which makes life incredibly difficult when you work at a large, estate garden which are usually found in the more rural parts of the country. So the pair naturally ask should we live near, or even on the properties where we work, are there disadvantages and advantages to doing this. Also Lucy is getting salty with her plants, and wants to know from the listeners if they have any plants immune to the sea breezes. Plus more 'Yogardening™'!
