Sowing Annuals for Birds and Courgettes with Sarah Raven & Arthur Parkinson - Episode 7

Our gardens have so much potential to become an oasis for birds and bees, and you don’t have to sacrifice aesthetic beauty to make this happen. Arthur considers a butterfly or a bee on a flower similar to Gucci jewellery for your garden, so combining glamour and wildlife can be particularly rewarding; and now is the perfect time to sow for a bustling summer garden. Also discussed this week are courgettes - a particularly easy vegetable to sow with a wonderful range of recipes to use them in. As always, Sarah shares some of the courgette’s culinary uses, including an interesting anecdote on why you should always pick your courgettes more frequently than you might think...In this episode, discover:How to bring the best of wildlife gardening and regular gardening togetherBringing butterflies, bees and birds into your gardenSarah and Arthur’s three favourite courgettesNumerous delicious courgette recipesTips for sowing courgettes, and when best to pick themOrder Sarah’s book: https://bit.ly/2TWHJczOrder Arthur’s book: https://bit.ly/3xOov7HView all products mentioned and find further advice from Sarah: https://bit.ly/3lYmwuIProducts mentioned:Blue Bayou: https://bit.ly/2PxpIiJSunflower Pro Cut Plum: http://bit.ly/3qOlNLFCrocus: http://bit.ly/2PW9HTKDahlias: http://bit.ly/3bNovwpScabius: http://bit.ly/3bKXeuwThistles: https://bit.ly/3bOPs2ISalvias: http://bit.ly/3bPbToOOregano: http://bit.ly/3tjcDIpBorage: http://bit.ly/30H7uOjRosemary: https://bit.ly/3rl7kaNBuddleia Buzz: http://bit.ly/30HMcAbCourgettes:Tromboncino: http://bit.ly/3eG6SQXSerpent: http://bit.ly/3tf5bxWRomanesco: http://bit.ly/2NhKTELBianca: http://bit.ly/3cBF0uZSoleil - http://bit.ly/3lf6tqbSee our events: https://www.sarahraven.com/courses-eventsGet in touch: [email protected] on the Sarah Raven Website: https://www.sarahraven.com/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahravensgarden/Follow Sarah: https://www.instagram.com/sarahravenperchhill/Order Sarah’s latest books: https://www.sarahraven.com/gifts/gardening-books?sort=newest
