My Garden Podcast - Gardening Podcast

Gardening podcast - Rosemary, mosquitoes and marriage club. After a properly scorching week in the garden, Penny is back outside, slightly cooler and very much enjoying how things are looking.
In this episode, she takes in self-seeded marigolds, mosquito-repelling plants, the joy of black organic compost, a newly potted rosemary and the eternal question of whether anyone really needs Latin plant names in their life.
There is also a diversion into broken crockery, kitchen garden fantasies, hunky husband’s sunburnt back and the possible launch of a new podcast called Marriage Club. Because apparently four podcasts are not enough.
Expect no expert gardening advice, no panel of specialists and absolutely no heated debate about easterly positions in walled gardens. Just one woman, one rosemary plant and a lot of thoughts.

Gardening podcast - Acer Avenue.  Penny is back in the garden at number two, Acer Avenue, where the Acers are doing their floppy-leaf thing and everyone appears to be digging a hole.
In this episode of My Garden Podcast, Penny plants a bargain scaly male fern under the trees, dreams up a Jurassic-style Dingley Dell and wrestles with slugs, compost, muddy knees and Joey’s enthusiastic soil redistribution.
There’s also a low-histamine diet to navigate, the tragic temporary loss of red wine in the bath and some solid dating advice for Penny’s hairdresser: if the red flags appear by date two, maybe don’t wait for the plot twist.
A funny, fern-filled episode about rescue plants, garden transformation and why you want red flowers, not red flags.

Gardening podcast - Fifty shades of grass seed. Penny Haslam is back in the garden with a small but pleasing mission: turning a bare, scruffy patch of soil into lawn.
But the real twist comes from Marks & Spencer, where a bottle of wine at the self-checkout leads to some unexpectedly committed age-check banter with a young member of staff.
Cue confusion, embarrassment and one important question: what do you call a younger man who’s attracted to older women?

Gardening Podcast - AITA at the Garden Centre. Penny is back on the Mediterranean sun terrace, which sounds glamorous until she admits it’s mainly breeze blocks, compost and good intentions.
In this episode of My Garden Podcast, Penny tops up a raised bed, confesses she’s not that keen on roses and shares the classic garden centre problem: going in for “a bit of colour” and coming out with lupins, pink geraniums and a £12 plant called Cat’s Pyjamas.
But the real drama happens before the trolley reaches the compost aisle.
A trip out with Penny’s mum turns into an unexpected AITA-style dilemma. Cue moral uncertainty, garden centre tension and a very reasonable question for listeners: who’s in the wrong here?
A funny, warm and slightly prickly episode about plants, parents, presents with strings attached. Contains mild swearing.

Gardening podcast hardy palm tree. Penny is back in the garden, knees damp, varifocals dazzled and manure at the ready.
In this episode of My Garden Podcast, Penny plants a replacement palm tree from the Palm Centre, wrestles with compost, backfills a hole dug by “hunky husband” and gives her new Trachycarpus fortunei a proper garden welcome.
There’s chat about cold-hardy palms and why gardeners keep every scrap of string “just in case”.
Penny also reflects honestly on why the podcast paused for a couple of years, touching on work, perimenopause, anxiety, low mood and the slow return of energy after a restorative trip to Australia.
A funny, warm and muddy comeback episode about fresh starts, tropical dreams and the absolute drama of getting a palm tree straight.
