Ep. 182 - Summer is here - gardening is full throttle in all its forms - and Saul and Lucy's task lists are fuller than ever, so we give you an insight at what both Head Gardeners are trying to squeeze into their long, hazy days.

Summer days are here again - sipping G&T on the terrace, lounging in our pools and holidays in the Algarve!? You must be kidding, for Head Gardeners Lucy and Saul it's full-on gardening, as our plots and patches reach the zenith of there horticultural output. This is the season when we really see the results of all those labours over the previous 6 months - colour, texture, scent and flavour all reach their crescendo as the garden provides us with the visual and edible treats that we work so hard for. Enjoy theses long days and wallow in the best gardening has to offer.

Wow - trying to keep up with any garden as we slip from the spring into summer is always a tall order. Lucy and Saul are full throttle at the moment trying to max out the best of their gardens - chopping, pruning, dead-heading, staking, sowing, harvesting, mowing, strimming, and hopefully fitting in some resting, are all part of our daily make-up of work. To keep up Lucy and Saul have been writing lists of tasks, not all get done, but at least we know what needs doing - the same for this podcast episode, where the list of topics feels just as full, so join us again down the garden path for more Horti-waffle!
