A Passion for Perennials with Rosy Hardy

Saison 7 · Épisode 7

vendredi 12 juin 2026 • Durée 01:07:27

Perennials are probably the most popular type of plant in the UK, but that wasn’t always the case. In this episode, we talk with Rosy Hardy, the Chelsea Flower Show’s most decorated female exhibitor. She has won 24 gold medals and helped many garden designers and colleagues win awards with her plants. Rosy explains how she helped make perennials popular over the past forty years and shares advice on choosing varieties that can handle our unpredictable summer weather. Later, Dan introduces an innovative plastic-free insect net made from plant fibres, and Julia recommends an unusual fruit that grows well in hot, dry summers.

Listen for advice on how to design your own garden, and elevate your gardening skills to a new level.

Jobs for the fortnight

Bring forced bulbs into warm, bright light to encourage flowering over Christmas and New Year.
Plant garlic this month; you need a cold snap to force the cloves to divide and grow.
Clean, sharpen and oil tools ready for the seasons ahead. Use white vinegar to remove surface rust; if that doesn’t remove it all, use a Crean Mate rust and sap eraser.
Don’t walk on lawns if they are frozen; you will snap the blades and cause damage. Wait for the temperature to rise before stepping out.
Continue to prune apples and pears. Use attractive prunings in Christmas arrangements to produce support for other flowers.
Make festive decorations and gather pine cones, etc., for the Christmas table. Pine cones can be encouraged to open by warming them gently in an oven.
Keep houseplants in a light, warm room; hold off on watering too much, and stop feeding until spring. Watch out for aphids, which can spread like wildfire in the right conditions.
If you are bringing a cut Christmas tree into the house, make sure you keep the base of the trunk in water.
Try to stop pond water from freezing by floating a ball in the water. Whatever you do, don’t attempt to break the ice manually as the impact can disturb pond life.
Prune grape vines, remove last year’s growth, leaving approximately 4 of the most vigorous canes, then prune these back to 15 buds per cane. Vines benefit from a hard cut. Using anvil secateurs will make this repetitive job much more bearable.

British Flowers Rock With Ben Cross

Saison 6 · Épisode 6

mardi 25 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:02:57

Ben Cross is a 4th-generation flower grower and the proprietor of Crosslands Flower Nursery. Specialising in the cultivation of alstroemerias for the cut-flower trade, Ben is one of a diminishing number of commercial growers in the UK. Dan and Julia find out why the big supermarkets aren't supporting British growers and where our cut flowers really come from - you might be surprised! Along the way, they learn how easy alstroemerias are to grow in your own garden or greenhouse, so why not have a go?

Jobs for the fortnight

Many seed and bulb merchants are releasing their new catalogues and plant lists now. Place orders early for any unusual varieties that might sell out quickly.
Add a thick layer of nutritious compost to your vegetable beds. If you’re unlikely to be doing much gardening between now and spring, you might want to cover them with cardboard to stop weeds from germinating.
Get your tulip bulbs in any time between now and Christmas, but don’t forget about them. If you need to keep them for a while, make sure they’re somewhere cool, dry, dark and well ventilated, so they don’t go mouldy.
Protect and stake your brassicas - Brussels and broccoli are prone to leaning over or snapping in high winds. Support emerging broad beans sown outside and keep an eye out for peckish pigeons.
Check apples stored last month for signs of rotting, and remove any blemished ones immediately. Don’t worry if you still have apples to pick.
Tidy up strawberry plants and pot up any baby plants sent out on runners
Build new compost bins to accommodate the massive volume of leaves, weeds and cleared vegetation that need somewhere to go at the end of the year
Clean bird baths and top up bird feeders.
It’s the final window to plant autumn onion and shallot sets, and get ready for garlic next month.
Prune apple and pear trees from now until the end of February before new growth starts.
