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!

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!

EP.13 | Our End Of Year Review Of our Allotments and the Podcast!

In our final episode of the year, we review our allotments, as well as our highs and lows. We also talk about the podcast and whether we'll continue it next year. 

Also on this episode, we discuss how the 'jingle bell' sing-along came about and how amazing it has been. This episode was completed prior to the release of the jingle bell song, so the timing is slightly off because we planned to release this episode before the jingle bell song. If you haven't listened to it, then give it a listen (released on the 6th December).

As we approach the end of 2022, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

EP.12 | Liz Zorab's Life of Organic Self-Sufficiency!

In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Liz Zorab, an author, self-sufficiency advocate, and YouTube sensation. While we all have reservations about moving from the city to a life of homesteading, Liz has done just that, and we get to hear about her journey to success as well as the few setbacks she encountered along the way.

Liz also tells us about her next book, which will be published in 2023!

This eposide inspired us greatly, and while our allotment plots are a fraction of the scale on which Liz works, it does give allotmenteers a taste of what Self-Sufficiency could look like.

We hope you enjoy it!

EP.8 | Our Chat With Charles Dowding (No Dig)

Hello!

In this episode, we speak with Charles Dowding, a name familiar to many gardeners who use or are considering using the 'no-dig' method. Charles tells us about his background, how 'no dig' came to be, how to get started, and the benefits. We also get a sneak peek at some of the exciting new books he'll be releasing in the near future!

While Amy was away, Chay had the pleasure of speaking with the show's youngest guest, his son Noah (6 years old), who discusses what it's like to be a little person in the world of allotments and what the next generation of allotment holders will look like.

In this world of information overload, opinions, and technological advancement, talking to a little person about what matters to them puts things in perspective and reminds us that the most basic things are often the most important.

Noah also teaches us a different way to embrace the slug infestation, suggesting that perhaps we should celebrate the presence of slugs rather than bemoan it. Easier said than done, but it makes it a little less painful when your lettuce and plants have been decimated by slugs.

Whilst growing fruits and vegetables on our plot is important, we believe that it is also important to grow flowers.  So on that basis, we decided that this week we would chat to Ben Cross who is a British Grower and who specialises in growing Alstroemeria in his Nursery (Crosslands). Ben has also been campaigning and is a passionate advocate for supporting British Growers and on this show, we get to understand how we can help him!
