Listen "Faffing Around With Dahlias, Massive Flower Field Envy, Course Update & Winter Has Arrived"
Episode Synopsis
Hello, welcome to Tuesday 18 November 2025. Winter is here! The temperature has plummeted and I'm bundled up in so many layers that it's hard to even bend down sometimes. Tonight's episode gives you an update of my progress on the new course with Jenny Marks of Trademark Farmer in the US, and news of what I've done with my dahlias over the weekend.Yesterday I visited a fellow grower's plot for a meet-up of local fellow growers which was very interesting and gave me the biggest plot envy ever! There's news about gathering holly for wreaths as well as the location of my bulb order. I've been watching videos of growing tulips in crates so I feel confident having a go at that when they (eventually) arrive. The rest of the week is busy as usual and I do hope that you will come back and join me for the next episode.Connect with meIf you like what you hear, please follow/subscribe to this podcast so that you're the first to hear new episodes when they become available every Tuesday and Friday.
