This episode is a mixed bag! We speak again to BBC 2's Terry Walton about our raised beds and growing veg, then Heather speaks to Phil about how COVID-19 has affected the farming industry. After Heather answers a question about how to know how you have the right level of material in your wormery. Lastly, join Heather and Monty as they drill 100,000 (!) Larkspur seed for our farm floristry! KEY TAKEAWAYS Recorded a few weeks ago, Terry Walton details the best conditions to grow which different types of veg, how to get started with growing, which vegetables you should be planting at this time and a handful of other fabulous gardening tips. It's not too late to get started for growing in your garden this year! Phil Gorringe explains how COVID-19 has affected life on the farm, changes that he has had to make in his business and how he deals with situations (and weather) good or bad. He also discusses the state of farm subsidies and what the future looks like for food shopping. Heather explains that worms don't work methodically through layers in your wormery, they will always eat the freshest food. So as long as they are on the top, they are ready for some more. ABOUT THE SHOW At this difficult time we are not allowing visitors onto Lower Blakemere Farm, but don't fret you can still get a peek into life on the Wiggly farm with our New Wiggly Podcast! If you're as sad as we are about The Archers skipping a day, then we've got your Friday fix right here. Each Friday, join the Gorringes (The Archers of Blakemere) for a new episode - including Heather's wiggly updates, the farming catch-up with Farmer Phil, the return of the (now older) Monty Cast and lots of other interviews! So run a bath (or whatever you do when you listen to podcasts) settle in and let us invite you for a slice of country life from the heart of Herefordshire.
