  • Ep. 248 - Happy New Year from the Talking Heads. 2025 is the 6th year of talking Horti-waffle™ on the podcast and we're both hoping for a successful and exciting gardening season ahead. So lets dive on in!
    Well winter is on our doorsteps, and for the general population any thoughts of gardening stops, as the common thought is the 'garden has gone to sleep'...Well nothing could be farther from the truth, as the season of shorter days and chilly weather could be one of the most important and busy in the yearly life of your garden. Join Lucy and Saul every week as they show you exactly how busy they are, whether getting everything festive for Xmas, clearing up after the latest storm, enjoying the emergent shoots of early flowering plants or getting ready for spring and a return to the start of the great garden cycle!Happy New Year to all our listeners, old and new, it's amazing how time flies especially when your out in the garden - and 6 years of podcasting seems pretty wild but the horti-waffle never ends and Saul and Lucy have a brand new garden season to sink their teeth into - as the first green shots make an appearance along with the erratic, and pretty cold, weather we're experiencing. So lets look forward to what our green spaces have in store, and take this years ride together in our gardening lives!Twitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulInstagram links:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensBluesky links:Lucy @lucycgardens.bsky.socialIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

  • Ep. 246 - In the wake of storm Darragh Saul and Lucy discuss tree loss, removal and renewal. A moment of sadness brings with it the silver lining of opportunity

It left the two podcast hosts pondering what would be their favourite trees if the time ever came to replace veteran specimens. Plus, Saul and Lucy share their experiences of shredder joy - and disappointment.

  • Ep. 245 - What does a gardener do when they are not gardening - and how do you fill half an hour of podcast when you haven't been outside doing any horticulture - well tune in and find out!
    Well winter is on our doorsteps, and for the general population any thoughts of gardening stops, as the common thought is the 'garden has gone to sleep'...Well nothing could be farther from the truth, as the season of shorter days and chilly weather could be one of the most important and busy in the yearly life of your garden. Join Lucy and Saul every week as they show you exactly how busy they are, whether getting everything festive for Xmas, clearing up after the latest storm, enjoying the emergent shoots of early flowering plants or getting ready for spring and a return to the start of the great garden cycle!Many might think that Saul and Lucy are always gardening - and in the main that could be true - but there are periods where not much outside work gets done, or the great spectre of 'life' gets in the way. This week that the Talking Heads pair seem to have coincided in their lack of anything horticultural, and so in todays episode we learn exactly what they both do when they haven't really done that much! Instagram links:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensBluesky links:Lucy @lucycgardens.bsky.socialTwitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

  • Ep. 244 - Saul and Lucy have had busy weeks: sizing up storm Bert, analysing garden clothing, firing up flame guns and living it up at the Savoy. Just an ordinary week, then, for the modern professional gardener.
    With winter on the horizon, it's time to say a fond farewell to the 2024 garden season. But that's not to say there is still a tremendous amount of gardening to be done. Lucy has been revelling in her Fruit and Veg with Autumn being the crescendo of harvest time, and Saul willed an Indian Summer so his last few exotics could flower before being tucked away for some well deserved winter rest. Otherwise there are still lawns to cut, leaves to be raked and a lot of planning for 2025!This week, the duo turn their heads towards garden clothing, by deliberating whether or not it's possible to turn off your professional gardening head when at home in your own garden (Lucy reveals that it is, but only Ursula Andress reveals herself in a bikini, on a beach, in Dr No - we promise, that WILL make sense). Lucy does sharpen up her look, temporarily, by donning her gladrags for the Garden Media Guild Awards, at the Savoy, no less. She sups sparkling wine, basks in the glory of her gardening friends, and generally has a jolly good time. Saul, in the meantime, is fending off vast Dutch flights of pigeons...
