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. Gardeners 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.

The Talking Heads podcast duo are glowing! With temperatures well into the twenties, gardening this week for Saul has mainly consisted of watering and seeking shade, whereas Lucy took to contracting Covid to avoid the heatwave! Irrigation can be a time-zapping exercise, so Lucy and Saul discuss their respective water management methods. With playdates aplenty, Lucy also turns her mind towards school holiday activities, and thankfully the RHS and Jane Perrone have come to her rescue. Wormeries, naturecrafts, bug hunts and more will help any family enjoy their garden this summer.
