Before You Plant Anything This Spring...

...Be sure to listen to this relaxed conversation with two fabulous gardeners: my co-host, John Stirland — Boom Radio’s gardening expert — and horticulturist, broadcaster and RHS judge, Martin Fish. It was a real pleasure to reunite this former BBC TV gardening double-act and spend half an hour chatting about Spring gardening in Martin’s Lincolnshire spread, with the birds providing the background soundtrack. We begin with the problem many gardeners are facing after a wet winter — moss in the lawn — before moving on to dividing herbaceous perennials, pruning, planting, irrigation, and finally pests. There’s plenty to take in, so if you’d like to jump to specific topics, take a look at the chapter guide. It's a great way to start Season 6, and our thanks to Martin for his time and use of his splendid young garden. 💬 Got a question for John? Or fancy sending us some fan mail?

...Be sure to listen to this relaxed conversation with two fabulous gardeners: my co-host, John Stirland — Boom Radio’s gardening expert — and horticulturist, broadcaster and RHS judge, Martin Fish.

It was a real pleasure to reunite this former BBC TV gardening double-act and spend half an hour chatting about Spring gardening in Martin’s Lincolnshire spread, with the birds providing the background soundtrack.

We begin with the problem many gardeners are facing after a wet winter — moss in the lawn — before moving on to dividing herbaceous perennials, pruning, planting, irrigation, and finally pests.

There’s plenty to take in, so if you’d like to jump to specific topics, take a look at the chapter guide.

It's a great way to start Season 6, and our thanks to Martin for his time and use of his splendid young garden.
