Before You Plant Anything This Spring...

Send us Fan Mail...Be sure to listen to this relaxed conversation with two fabulous gardeners: my co-host, John Stirland — Boom Radio’s gardening expert — and horticulturist, broadcaster and RHS judge, Martin Fish.It was a real pleasure to reunite this former BBC TV gardening double-act and spend half an hour chatting about Spring gardening in Martin’s Lincolnshire spread, with the birds providing the background soundtrack.We begin with the problem many gardeners are facing after a wet winter — moss in the lawn — before moving on to dividing herbaceous perennials, pruning, planting, irrigation, and finally pests.There’s plenty to take in, so if you’d like to jump to specific topics, take a look at the chapter guide.It's a great way to start Season 6, and our thanks to Martin for his time and use of his splendid young garden. 💬 Got a question for John?
