Talking Heads - a Gardening Podcast
Ep. 270 - It's hot, hot, HOT! SO, how do two professional gardeners manage when daytime temperatures soar? And what key jobs are there to complete when everything in the garden is at summer's peak? Listen to Saul and Lucy as they explain all
Summer in 2025 is here - and after one of the sunniest and driest Springs on record, we enter the long days and sultry nights with the garden looking glorious but always looking to the horizon for a little bit of rain to keep things looking green and lush. Herbaceous borders are set to maximum colour, vegetable beds seem to multiply in growth weekly and the gardeners tan is ever present. So enjoy the long summer days, take some time to appreciate time in your garden and join the Talking Heads pair as they continue to look after the spaces they are in charge of, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.
It's well established that Lucy resides in arid Essex and Saul lives in drenched Devon, and the podcasting duo are certainly experiencing their standard levels of rainfall this summer. But gluts and dearths of moisture aside, they are both gardening in the heat, so how can you continue to keep your customers happy whilst also preserving your welfare? Hats, shade and (sorry) sweat aside, there are jobs to be done, with pruning, weeding, and getting round to those never-completed 'cherry' tasks all on the agenda. Just another standard week in the life of two professional gardeners, then!
