from Talking Heads - a Gardening Podcast · host Lucy Chamberlain and Saul Walker

Spring is the season when gardeners throw off the hibernation and slumber of months of wet feet, many layers and waterproofs and are reborn anew! The stirring of life in the garden is one of the years great experiences, and makes a gardening life such a worthwhile pursuit, not only is it good for the planet to see the earth greening up, it is also good for the gardeners soul. But there is still lots of hard work to get on with - seeds have to be sown, mulch laid, supports erected and lawns mown. So join Lucy and Saul as they continue their professional gardening lives in the pure heaven that is Spring!Lucy and Saul are still in energy-recovery mode after their epic three days at Beaulieu for Gardeners World Live - but they are also trying to catch up and keep up with an ever burgeoning list of garden tasks - including getting some more seeds sown, potting on all those exotic tender plants that are now coming back to life, chopping and staking the borders - on top of which Lucy is still trying to resist buying a classic car.
