Summer in 2025 is here - and after one of the sunniest and driest Springs on record, we enter the long days and sultry nights with the garden looking glorious but always looking to the horizon for a little bit of rain to keep things looking green and lush. Herbaceous borders are set to maximum colour, vegetable beds seem to multiply in growth weekly and the gardeners tan is ever present. So enjoy the long summer days, take some time to appreciate time in your garden and join the Talking Heads pair as they continue to look after the spaces they are in charge of, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.
Apologies for again this week mentioning the 's'-word (sweat) but it's been foisty throughout the UK, meaning that Lucy and Saul have yet again plenty of weather fodder to get their teeth into. They also discover a design issue with their battery mowers - are their other professional gardeners out there whacking their Hayters on an all-too-frequent basis? Hedges also go under the spotlight - do you cut yours once or twice a year? And we give a shoutout to our Australian listeners in NSW who are experiencing a cyclone bomb with tidal surges, high winds and up to 200mm of rainfall in just a few hours. Hunker down, stay safe and emerge unscathed if you can.
