With all the rain we have had some people are wondering are they too late to start a vegetable garden this spring. The answer is a definite no it never too late to start.

 I've got the lowdown on how you can still sow seeds of success in your garden, even if you're getting a late start. Tune in as I divulge the secrets of setting up a no-dig bed in no time and how grabbing store-bought seedlings can fast-track your path to fresh, homegrown veggies. With the planting window for bare-root fruit trees closing soon, I'll tell you exactly how to get those roots in the ground.

Gardening isn’t just for the well-seasoned; it’s a world ripe for beginners, and I’m here to guide you through it. This episode peels back the layers of gardening mystery to reveal the most beginner-friendly crops that promise big yields with little toil. We're talking about the sheer joy of harvesting your own crisp lettuce, the thrill of nurturing tomatoes (greenhouse required), and the satisfaction of watching your onions and spinach flourish.

But it's not all about the dirt under our fingernails; we're branching out to discuss the delicate intertwining of conservation and agriculture with Ireland's ACRES scheme. Delve into the debate over native versus non-native trees and the threat of diseases like fireblight amidst the rush to plant for biodiversity.
Get excited, because I’m also sharing the buzz around upcoming garden events. You won't want to miss the insights from Frances Toppill of BBC Gardener's World at the Laois Garden Festival, where I'll also be speaking.

For those hungry for more, our online gardening course, complete with lifetime access and continuous updates, stands ready to help your garden grow.
