At the beginning of our third season, we just wanted to take the time to reintroduce ourselves at your hosts.

In our second-ever episode, Kate spoke very honestly about her journey and we wanted to update that story, almost two years later.  We talk about feeding carnivorous plants with spaghetti and the realities of dealing with a chronic illness while having fun growing things.

When we began our podcast in Autumn 2023, we were both in a very different place, both professionally and personally.  We wanted to re-introduce ourselves at the beginning of our third season.  You are going to be listening to our voices a lot over the next year as we bring you monthly gardening advice and some amazing guests and we wanted to take this opportunity to re-introduce ourselves to you.

Here is Andy's story 2.0.  He talks about the journey to running a horticultural business and the changes that he would like to see within horticulture more widely. Oh and why he was the only student watching Gardeners World.

Join us as we mark the beginning of the third season of the Growing Up Podcast.  We look back at the incredible support that we've received for this slightly irreverent gardening chat and look forward to what we have lined up for you in season three.

Oh, Andy also asks Kate what she would buy from the Garden Centre with one million pounds to spend.  Serious gardening journalism at it's finest.

Thank you so much for listening guys.

Andy has been so excited to record this episode. For a number of years we have become aware of the phenomenon of the 'second herb season' a time from mid to late summer when herbs once again become front and centre - filling gaps in our growing spaces and offering hardy alternative planting options as we begin to plan towards colder weather.

What is the second herb season? And why does it matter?

Enjoy this episode, guys.

July is a firework display in the garden, it's beautiful chaos in which the energy of growth is so beautiful, obvious and frenetic.  But amidst the joyful chaos of July there are so many jobs that you can do to really enhance your growth during the month of July and beyond.

Join Andy and Kate for a fun, chilled-out chat about the July garden, slugs the size of cats, the joy of dead-heading and a little Jane Austen.

Enjoy.
