Hello there and welcome back to this weeks edition of the Mic the Gardener – Gardening Podcast.  In this weeks edition, I'm mixing it up slightly, and you're stuck with me, and me alone. Come back! Don't go away.  It's what I'm calling a magazine edition, and I'll be covering a few topics this week including: Plant of the Month - The Nitty Gritty - this month, I'll be giving you the lowdown on English lavender and we'll be looking at everything you need to know to grow lavender, including maintenance, some interesting facts and more.  Job's Worth - some important jobs for us all to be getting on with now in our green spaces.  In the News - some interesting and topical news items in the world of gardening and horticulture.   Your Questions - Mike answers some of the questions you have sent into him.  Thank you!  Mike
