The Stuff We Love One: And just like that, we're at episode 12 and the end of season 5. Where on earth does the time go?! Summer is well and truly here with great growth in the hedgerows, vegetable patches, flower beds and wild flower meadow. With the warm sun, more light and occasional rain you can turn your back for just a moment and in that time you've got flowers (and weeds!) everywhere. It's joyful. In this episode, to wrap up season 5 Kathy and I share our favourite things from the garden and kitchen, and there's one final opportunity to win that amazing bag of goodies worth over £130. Happy summer, everyone!

The Gluts One: Gluts! So many gluts. Every summer Jez grows enough tomatoes to rival Italy's national export, and can't keep up with soups, roasting, and experimental tomato face creams. Kathy's had more cucumbers than you could poke a courgette at - and we know we're not alone! Don't despair, it's a special episode with expert advice on exciting ways to manage your glut!

The Health One: Yet again Kathy's brought food and on behalf of you, dear viewer, we're testing the commonly-banded around health benefits of fruit. In this episode Kathy and Jez plead Nigel Slater to kidnap them, Jez discloses he once weighed a baby squirrel, and a large bowl of fruit is picked apart so once and for all we can categorically know how many we have to eat for it to be good for us.
-
The Gadget One: Welcome to "the Gardget Show"... One of our listeners, Jim, asked about gadgets for the garden and the kitchen, which Kathy and I thought was a great idea for a special episode! Can you guess which gadget Kathy loves so much that she keeps it in her handbag, and takes it with her everywhere? She could possibly be the only person alive who does this...
-
The Danger One: Jez and Kathy are eating (again), and this time it’s mushrooms. Fortunately Kathy knows her mushrooms but Jez’s dog Woody had a very lucky escape recently. Which brings us to other dangerous things in the garden, and how to avoid them.
-
The Underground One: Kathy's been cooking again and if the cake was the pinnacle of the mountain, the root veg soup and homemade sourdough is the snow - or something. It's incredible, and incredibly simple, too. When things come together like this (growing and eating and enjoying) it really does make things in life fall into place. From turmeric, to plastic grass, and from underground bugs to bees wax - this was such a fun (and tasty!) episode to record!
-
The Cost Cutting One: Gardening can be expensive, so this week Kathy and I sat down to share some super simple ways to enjoy your outdoor space, or the joy of growing your own fruit, vegetables and flowers, both for free and for as little investment as possible. Kathy shares an AWESOME recipe for a cauliflower shepherd's pie (which was EPIC - yes, we ate it for dinner!), which has got me thinking about how simple it is to live for less if we put our minds to it. Please share your cost cutting recipes below! Congratulations to last week's winners who win a 100% cotton jute bag jam-packed with over £130 worth of goodies from True Grace Candles; Aspall's Cider Vinegar; Seed Ball; Kathy, myself, and The Really Wild Company.

The Nature Healing One: This week Kathy lets Jez's puppy Woody in with muddy paws, and tells everyone to remove their clothes and sit in ice cold water. What is the power nature has over us to improve health, wellbeing and our behaviour, and what can the rest of us do to benefit while Kathy has an ice bath?

Working through John Coutts' book has made me especially curious about him and his work, so in this episode I travelled to London to speak with Simon Toomer, Curator of Living Collections at Kew, about John, and the future of gardening.

The meadow is growing! It's exciting to see the seeds finally germinating, which means I can now turn my attention to the kitchen garden - just in time for the good weather... although you watch us have the wettest summer yet now as soon I've finished it! This week I share my favourite wild seed combinations; chat fruit and vegetable plans; reveal my secret to effective pocket planting and called Gardener's World regular Nick Bailey to get his take on my plan to garden as they did in 1931.

Join me this episode for a wildflower meadow special! I'm back from my trip to the US, but caught covid and am finding I don't have the energy or strength to do what I want. It's frustrating, but I've now sown the wildflower meadow and some of the other meadow areas: I'll explain how to do it properly and why it can be a wonderful and cost effective solution for instant colour and biodiversity to almost any garden area!

Episode 1: It's great to be back, and to share with you my new garden: a half acre of overgrown grass. We'll need a quick tour of the garden so you can follow along, and with each area I design and begin to dig out I'll be returning to my trusty copy of Everyday Gardening from 1931 for guidance from ex curator of Kew, John Coutts.
