35 min • 24 februari 2025

Join Richard and Scott in this weeks podcast where this week Richard has noticed that there are signs that the allotment is springing into life. Back at home Richard is building on his grow light system in order to be able to grow more seedlings and he also shares a few insights from the garden press event. Scott is also back with his recipe of the week.

Springing Into Life On The Allotment

Down on the allotment Richard has seen some signs that spring is just around the corner. Nettles and comfrey are just starting to show, Rhubarb has begun breaking through and even the over wintered garlic and onions are showing signs of life.

This is all good signs that spring is just round the corner but bringing with it is of course weed growth too. Time to start weeding more.

Grow Lights The Secret To Good Seedlings

Will it work only time will tell.
