    S5 Ep12 The Stuff We Love One

    The Stuff We Love One: And just like that, we're at episode 12 and the end of season 5. Where on earth does the time go?! Summer is well and truly here with great growth in the hedgerows, vegetable patches, flower beds and wild flower meadow. With the warm sun, more light and occasional rain you can turn your back for just a moment and in that time you've got flowers (and weeds!) everywhere. It's joyful. In this episode, to wrap up season 5 Kathy and I share our favourite things from the garden and kitchen, and there's one final opportunity to win that amazing bag of goodies worth over £130. Happy summer, everyone!

    S5 Ep 11 The Gluts One

    The Gluts One: Gluts! So many gluts. Every summer Jez grows enough tomatoes to rival Italy's national export, and can't keep up with soups, roasting, and experimental tomato face creams. Kathy's had more cucumbers than you could poke a courgette at - and we know we're not alone! Don't despair, it's a special episode with expert advice on exciting ways to manage your glut!

    S5Ep10 The Health One

    The Health One: Yet again Kathy's brought food and on behalf of you, dear viewer, we're testing the commonly-banded around health benefits of fruit. In this episode Kathy and Jez plead Nigel Slater to kidnap them, Jez discloses he once weighed a baby squirrel, and a large bowl of fruit is picked apart so once and for all we can categorically know how many we have to eat for it to be good for us.

    S5Ep9 The Gadget One

    S5Ep9 The Gadget One

    The Gadget One: Welcome to "the Gardget Show"... One of our listeners, Jim, asked about gadgets for the garden and the kitchen, which Kathy and I thought was a great idea for a special episode! Can you guess which gadget Kathy loves so much that she keeps it in her handbag, and takes it with her everywhere? She could possibly be the only person alive who does this...

    S5E8 The Danger One

    The Danger One: Jez and Kathy are eating (again), and this time it’s mushrooms. Fortunately Kathy knows her mushrooms but Jez’s dog Woody had a very lucky escape recently. Which brings us to other dangerous things in the garden, and how to avoid them.

    S5Ep7 The Underground One

    S5Ep7 The Underground One

    The Underground One: Kathy's been cooking again and if the cake was the pinnacle of the mountain, the root veg soup and homemade sourdough is the snow - or something. It's incredible, and incredibly simple, too. When things come together like this (growing and eating and enjoying) it really does make things in life fall into place. From turmeric, to plastic grass, and from underground bugs to bees wax - this was such a fun (and tasty!) episode to record!

Fantastic

The series has been fantastic. Apparently Coutts was head gardener at Killerton In Exeter, am planning to make a visit to see if I can find out more.

Gardening for the soul

An eclectic mix of gardening, bees, life lessons and the occasional bit of innuendo. The banter between Jez and Kathy is comedy gold and the gardening good too. Just waiting for the TV show to follow. On a serious note, those that do it, know that Gardening does heal. Growing and nurturing things in a garden, pot on your windowsill or allotment really is good for mind, body and soul (and soil).

More please!

I have listened since the very 1st podcast. Soo honest fun and informative. Please can we have more, I feel a bit sad when there is no roots wings and other things , when a new series is announced it feels like waiting for Christmas, with all the love and excitement. Thanks guys you are appreciated.
