Welcome to another episode, this week we are slowly baking alive in the dehumidifier formally known as United Kingdom, we start as ever with a chat with George and his famous gardening question. Who will win this week Jamie, Marc or will George stump them both.

Tonight’s guest is a geologist with nearly 40 years experience having working on projects all over the world.

He has now moved in to the world of horticulture to teach gardeners, farmers, developers, landowners, estates and horticulturalists in the biological/soil food web approach to

gardening and growing at all scales.

His understanding of the way mycorrhiza work in the soil is incredible our minds were absolutely blown, you have probably all heard the word bit maybe don’t understand the science behind it.

Thank you so much everyone who watched live or catches up after or waits for the podcast later on in the week. 

Join us again next week for another guest from the world of horticulture 💚

We start as always with a chat with George and his gardening question, this week all about Raspberries.

Marc and Jamie chatted about what they had been up too in their gardens, Marc gave a Robomower update from work.

Our guest tonight is someone with over 32 years experience in the world of horticulture, specialising in creating gardens that are naturalistic and wildlife friendly. He is very passionate about making the world a better place for all and even has a petition to try and force change with new build estates to be more sympathetic with nature and green spaces.

I love hearing how Paul creates gardens with nature and wildlife at the forefront rather than an afterthought. Which also leads to a much smaller cost than traditional hard landscaping and garden design.

Thanks everyone for watching and listening, join us next week for another guest from the world of horticulture 💚

We started the show as always with George’s gardening question, this week about courgette. We also got a radish update and chatted about what we have been up too.

Our guest tonight was another gardener with a luscious head of hair, he has had 26 years as a landscape gardener, and is now an aspiring Garden Designer and even won a Silver Gilt Medal for his Blooming Border at RHS Malvern Spring show this year. He is currently gardening at a retirement estate with an incredible ethos and a wealth of history.

As ever we had a wonderful rambling chat, which incorporated all of Paul’s journey in horticulture.

We even chatted about how undervalued the industry is and how poorly paid it is for the level of skill and knowledge there is.

We start as we always do with George’s gardening question this week about Radish. We all now need to sow some and see if the answer is correct.

Tonight our guest was Jack who is a life long nature lover, a gardener, a designer, a writer who has featured in @gardenersworldmag @guardian @gardens_illustrated and many others, as well as being the author of Wild about Weeds and A Greener Life. I would also add artist on to the list.

We geeked out about compost our favourite topic, and even about how Jamie plans to use goats to stop him having to use weed killer.

What an incredible stat that over 40% of UK gardens are paved over, we definitely need to start reducing that number.

We definitely need to check out the tile whacking in Europe 😂

Thanks everyone for watching and listening join us again next week for another guest from the gardening universe 💚

We start as always with George’s garden question, this week about lawn mowers and when they were invented.

Tonight we have a wildlife expert which you would think has nothing to do with gardening but in my opinion the two are very closely linked and the more natural we can make our gardens the better.

It’s interesting to think about what plant you need to atract a certain insect and how specific those insect can be.

If you are ever in the south west and want to have a nature tour with Nick check out his website and follow him on Instagram.

Let’s hope his Birdfoot trefoil attracts the small blue butterflies he want to see on his garden, also keep an eye out for Painted lady butterflies as it’s expected to be a good year for them.

Yes you read that right Jamie thought it would be interesting to turn the tables and interview Marc as the guest tonight so we can find out his story right from the beginning.

George gave us his weekly garden question this week all about daisys and the scores are Marc 9 Jamie 5 and George 4 (George gets a point if Marc and Jamie get it wrong)

We even got a bonus guest in Marc’s mum popping on to tell us all about her days in the circus 🎪

Marc has always known he wanted to be a gardener it just took a while to get there but when he found his dream job he felt like he had hit the jackpot!

Thanks everyone for watching and listening, join us again next time for some more horti waffle. 💚

We started with a question from George as always and Marc and Jamie got it wrong again! This week about the biggest flower in the world.

Tonight we had the horticultural lifer Chris Wiley who has been gardening since the age of 8 and even asked for a greenhouse as a present.

Chris has had such a fantastic career so far from working in a nursery to releasing an amazing new sweet pea variety which won Best plant of the Year 2022 at @bbcgwlive

Now Chris’s latest venture is @hortiaichris which Chris has poured all of his knowledge and other experts to create a horticultural specific AI you can try this for free for the first month if you want to try it out.

Chris also has a sustainable plant store online for all your eco friend gardening needs.

Oh and did we mention he is a massive galanthophile!

Great to be with you all again back at our usual time with only a few hiccups.

We of course started with the big reveal of Marc’s new caravan garden room, George gave us his garden question, this week about Avocardo.

It was fantastic to have a tour of Elle’s garden now we have lighter evenings. She has achieved so much in a short space of time. With no doubt lots of hard work.

If you don’t follow Elle go give her a follow 👍🏻

No guest just us having a chat showing and talking about what we have growing in our gardens.

After Instagram not letting us have sound on for the last few days we finally managed to get it sorted.

George gave us his weekly update in to his gardening world and gave Jamie and Marc their weekly gardening question. This week about apple trees.

It’s lovely to have a chat just the two of us every now and again and interact more with everyone watching.

See you next Tuesday for another episode with a guest hopefully 💚
