Firstly, apologies for our silence over the past few weeks, we've been busy creating a brand new YouTube channel and subscription newsletter (links below) as well as overhauling our Facebook group to accommodate the massive new growth of 'Loving Your Garden' - now 378 thousand members.

Now that we're back into the routine we've re-commenced series 4 with a gardening clinic - hosted by myself and our resident horticulturist John Stirland with the added pleasure of the company of Barbara Stalker, Assistant County Organiser for the National Garden Scheme in Cambridgeshire. Barbara makes a strong case for the excellent UK National Garden Scheme which turns an amazing garden near you into a public source of inspiration for just a couple of days over the Summer. 

John discusses the importance of knowing your soil by way of explaining why those new plants you bought in Spring may not be thriving as you expected plus our usual discussion about pests and diseases which have been a particular problem after a very wet Spring.  As ever, we've added chapters to help you navigate the podcast.
