Garden Hoes Australia – Détails, épisodes et analyse

We went to MIFGS! Erin and Jamie spend this hour dissecting their recent visit to the 2024 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. We talk you through our favourites in the hall of flowers, the Avenue of Achievable Gardens and the prize-winning Show Gardens. We also highlight the common themes we saw and some plants that seem to be having a bit of a moment. Grab a cuppa and put us in your ears!

Grab a cuppa and join Jamie and Erin as we discuss mushrooms and a horticultural hack for hydrating your soil during extended hot and dry periods. We are keeping our cool during our Australian Summer, so there’s much talk of irrigation . . . and of course, an update on Jamie’s very own F1 Dahlia seedlings. Enjoy!

In this episode, Jamie and Erin discuss Peonies, nursery visits and unfortunate plant names. They also spend rather too much time discussing rats (and how to stop them eating everything in your garden!).

Join Jamie and Erin for an episode all about propagation - one of Jamie’s very favourite things. We chat about what to propagate when, from cuttings to seeds. We also discuss slugs, Eurovision and soil blocking. Because what’s a propagation discussion without Eurovision?

In this episode, Jamie interview ecologist and environmental photographer, Alison Pouliot. Alison and Jamie delve into a fungi-filled discussion with Alison’s new book, Underground Lovers, as a launching point. They discuss everything from the role of fungi in our ecosystems, the oddly maligned view of fungi, through to glowing ghost fungi. It’s entertaining and educational in equal parts!

Welcome to episode 2 of the Garden Hoes podcast! This was recorded just prior to Christmas 2022 and highlights Jamie’s visit to Ball Australia and Flemings Nursery, as well as a discussion around frustrating power tools and summer seed sowing.

Here’s the links to a few other people or businesses we discuss in the show:

We’re back for 2024! After a short break to imbibe champagne, we’re here to regale you with our Summer garden doings. This includes a new puppy for Jamie, Olive Tree propagation, a slug infestation and blackberry management. Jamie is being remarkably (uncharacteristically?) restrained in her Dahlia propagation.

Jamie has visited a couple of new gardens and shares stories of majestic trees and goes into quite a bit of useful information about tree maintenance, particularly in relation to leaf curl.

Jamie and Erin re-cap their recent (very successful) plant buying trip to the Garden Lovers Fair at Bolobek, in Macedon VIC. We share our favourite purchases, an inspiring talk on espalier work and Rhododendrons. We also discuss some of our current vegetable propagation for Summer, as well as some of the least favourite vegetables we’ve grown. Jamie waxes lyrical about stainless steel cable ties and Erin complains about long bakery queues.

Gee, we cover some big topics in this episode: snake bite kits, shade plants, bridging grafting techniques, gypsum application and the Zombie Apocalypse. There’s more than a few horticultural tangents, but we know you all enjoy our meandering chats down the garden path.
