Allotment Diaries Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode, Amy and Chay have the pleasure of speaking with Louise Third MBE, who at the age of 60 took on an allotment in 2020, prior to the pandemic. They discuss how she came to own an allotment plot, the challenges she faced, and the benefits to her mental and physical health.

Louise also discusses her growing season in 2024 and the highs and lows of owning an allotment plot thus far. 

We also learn a little bit about Louise and the incredible charity work she has done, which has earned her an MBE, as well as her plans for the future.

Louise should be an inspiration to many people because she has demonstrated that it is never too late to start something new.

The recording of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ is played in this Christmas special episode. It was sung by six enthusiastic gardeners/allotment holders who do not pretend to be great singers but are willing to give it a welly (gardening pun intended). A lot of fun was had recording it! 

We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. 

See you all in 2024!

Chay and Amy

This year, six enthusiastic gardeners banded together to get into the Christmas spirit and sing their own version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas." 

It may not hit this year's Christmas charts, but it was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs were had. 

A special Christmas Day episode will be released featuring recordings of how the song was organised, produced and how it came together!

Enjoy!

Singers : Chay, Amy, Marc, Jamie, Leanne and Ana.

In this episode, Amy and Chay talk to Laura, who lives in Michigan. Despite the time difference, the audio malfunction, and Chay's hangover from Oktoberfest, the episode still manages to discusses the differences in gardening (UK to US), pests, and how much the temperature in Michigan flatulates from summer to winter. 

Laura also tries to see how she does with guessing "English Cockney Slangs" in preparation for any potential future visit to England.
