Summer in 2025 is here - and after one of the sunniest and driest Springs on record, we enter the long days and sultry nights with the garden looking glorious but always looking to the horizon for a little bit of rain to keep things looking green and lush. Herbaceous borders are set to maximum colour, vegetable beds seem to multiply in growth weekly and the gardeners tan is ever present. So enjoy the long summer days, take some time to appreciate time in your garden and join the Talking Heads pair as they continue to look after the spaces they are in charge of, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.

It's well established that Lucy resides in arid Essex and Saul lives in drenched Devon, and the podcasting duo are certainly experiencing their standard levels of rainfall this summer. But gluts and dearths of moisture aside, they are both gardening in the heat, so how can you continue to keep your customers happy whilst also preserving your welfare? Hats, shade and (sorry) sweat aside, there are jobs to be done, with pruning, weeding, and getting round to those never-completed 'cherry' tasks all on the agenda. Just another standard week in the life of two professional gardeners, then!

Lucy and Saul have been in the health wars recently - so much so that Lucy had to cancel her appearance at BBC Gardeners World Live, and Saul lost his voice for half the show so could neither record an episode of the podcast, nor bellow his usual Plant expert tours. But the pair are now recovered(ish) and reflect back on GWLive as well as look at some of the more prevalent questions from the public about problems and suggestions for their garden.

Oh no - after Saul's period of illness, Lucy has now come down with the lurgy too - love and hugs to her. So Saul is running solo this weekend - and brings you along the two days away from Stonelands where, you guessed it, he does more gardening! But this time it's joining the many garden folk of two plant societies - the Hardy Plant Society and the Devon Orchid Society. So tune in to see what Saul gets up too, and if that whets your whistle go out and find your local club or society, join up and get more joy our of this wonderful hobby we all enjoy!
