Alan and Mike return for a brief catch up on the events of the last few weeks. We talk weather, tomatoes and life laundry. A few apologies to be made for the slow turn around, my cough in the early part of the recording, my appalling editing and no second segment this week. There\'s lots of worthwhile content here though, so many thanks for listening.

Mike and Al discuss cooking good food to save money and get into the weeds of money saving recipes including some serious post-war dessert recipes. We also have the usual catch up on sowing, weeding, watering and harvesting as well as an update from the apiary. Thanks for listening.

Mike and Alan return to discuss a hectic start to summer. We talk about sowing, planting and bees amongst other things as we tour Alan\'s allotment. Discussion then turns to tips for saving money on your shopping bill. Thanks for listening.

Mike and Alan return with another episode of the podcast. We discuss out efforts through the month of May so far before moving on to a dive in to how growing vegetables can save you money. Given the current backdrop of price increases we suggest ways in which you can grow to save on your grocery bills.

In a world where we\'re all feeling the pinch, Mike and Alan discuss starting up homesteading on a budget. We quickly realise we may have been a bit too generous with it, but come and join in the game on the Facebook group. You\'re starting with a few basic tools and a basic kitchen set up. How far can you make £50 go in setting up a new homestead?

It\'s a quick turnaround this time as we get together to make nucleus boxes for swarm trapping. Amid the the drills and bandsaw, we discuss spring gardening, building swarm traps and quail. Please send feedback via our Facebook group.

Mike and Alan invite you to join them from the woods as they eat sausages and discuss recent events in the garden and on the farm. Our attention later turns to beekeeping and swarm trapping with a brief how to guide.

Mike and Alan catch up about recent events and reflect on the impact of recent world events. Needless to say our thoughts are with all impacted.

Mike and Alan return with season 2 and finally share stories from Mike\'s new venture as a self sufficient farmer. We discuss the past month of self sufficiency and share some tips for late February preparation. Thanks for listening.

In the last ever episode of the Urban Homesteading UK podcast, Mike and Alan discuss the successes and failures of 2021 and explore the objectives they set for the year before exploring new objectives for 2022. We\'ll be back in February with or new Homesteading UK podcast.
