Home Grown with Martha and Jamie

This is it! Episode one of Home Grown, our brand-new podcast all about growing, gardening, and everything in between

And in today's episode, October is here, bringing crisp mornings, fiery leaves, and plenty to keep gardeners busy. In this episode of Home Grown, hosts Jamie Walton (Nettles & Petals) and Martha Swales (Marf’s Kitchen Garden) share what’s happening on their plots this month — from planting garlic and spring bulbs to cabbage to help the caterpillars and protecting tender plants before the first frosts.

There’s a cheeky haiku celebrating the spirit of autumn, plus a slightly terrifying tale about blackberries and Michaelmas that might make you look twice at your fruit bowl. With practical tips, seasonal laughs, and a good dose of October atmosphere, this episode helps you make the most of the garden.
