EP6 Bloom or Bust

This week we've failed miserably to get the garden ready for winter (much to the amusement of our next door neighbour) Andie discovers that most people have multiple phases to Xmas decorating and our new drone reveals some difficult home truths! Next week we'll be introducing guests and we've got a great one lined up for you guys so make sure you subscribe and tune in for that one. Thanks for listening xx

The Bloom or Bust Podcast is BACK! This week we're back in the dirt (literally) with another episode of gardening highs, lows, and questionable decisions. Join Andie and Jonny as they attempt to bring order to their garden chaos--spoiler alert: it's not going according to plan. In this episode, Jonny takes a bold approach to hedge trimming that's either genius or grounds for divorce (you'll have to listen to decide), while Andie dives headfirst into her seasonal obsession: festive foraging. Does she find the perfect Christmas combo, or just a bunch of twigs? Tune in to find out. As always, there are plenty of laughs, some near-death encounters with garden tools, and a healthy dose of "why do we do this to ourselves?' Grab your gloves, grab your trowels, and get ready for another rollercoaster of gardening bliss (and busts). Will it bloom? Or will it bust? Tune in to find out!

This week's episode we finally get to the bottom of who's job it is to pick up the hedge trimmings that have been laying in the flower beds since October! Turns out that ASKING for something to get done in the garden is the sure fire way of it NEVER getting done. Jonny and Andie discuss patio cleaning, Valentines Day and whether it's acceptable to wee in the garden!

Welcome back to the first episode of the new and improved 2024 podcast. We hit the ground running with the burning question everyone wants to know; "why has Jonny REALLY decided to leave the flower farming business?" Andie is also slightly concerned that she might have ordered too many dahlia tubers this year after it looks like the ones she left in the ground might just survive the milder winter. Lots of comedy input from Nonna (Jonny's mum) and the discussion gets a little heated over Andie's solo mulching marathon!

Jonny is BACK and the gloves are OFF! He's got a long list of gardening gripes that he has obviously been working on since the first episode and I think some of you might relate; dead Christmas wreaths, a front drive full of 'must have' impulse plant purchases and a deadly rose bush that attacks everyone who walks up the garden path. Hannah gets her head round some of the complicated seed names and makes her claim for Crocs being the next BIG THING in gardening! Did you know that they have a 'sports mode?' Neither did we!

This week Hannah and I are chatting greenhouse cheats and seed sowing buying addictions!

Andie gives her unpopular opinion on growing veg and Hannah can’t believe that people dig up their plants when they move house.
