Previous Episode: Ep. 104 - On the Talking Heads Podcast Lucy and Saul love talking about the weather, in fact it is a British obsession - but with more weather extremes and changes in seasonality effecting us, how does this change the way we look after our gardens.
Next Episode: Ep. 106 - Lucy and Saul are setting aside their trowels and forks for a week and travelling to the NEC in Birmingham for BBC Gardener's World Live - Special Edition, so we take a look at our role in the show and review some of our favourite highlights.

Summer is upon us at last! The warmer weather seems much overdue this year, so Lucy and Saul are relieved to at last see the abundance of growth that this season can bring. This explosion requires selective intervention and management, so get ready for lively conversations about how these two experienced Head Gardeners keep calm - and cool - during the garden's peak period.
 
Lucy and Saul love their jobs - don't get us wrong - but rather than paint a rose-tinted picture we thought our listeners would appreciate an authentic, honest account of Head Gardener life. So, whether it's being attacked by swans, flexing your flat-pack muscles with furniture or just managing the general juggle of jobs, welcome to the busy, exciting - and occasionally frustrating - world of the modern Head Gardener!
