Elaine and Julia are back with another engaging episode of the Potty Plotters Plotcast!
In this episode, they tackle a listener’s question from Alix in Bristol about the pros and cons of using fabric pots and air pruning for patio gardening. Elaine shares her experiences with fabric pots and explains why she prefers reusing plastic pots. Julia dives into the concept of air pruning and its benefits for root development, particularly for sweet peas and trees.
The conversation takes a delightful detour into the world of pears, with Elaine sharing tips on how to poach and serve them. They also discuss the challenges of growing wedding flowers and offer practical advice for those considering DIY wedding bouquets.
Elaine and Julia address common plot disasters, from misplaced trees to collapsing sheds, and share their own experiences with wind-damaged archways and overgrown perennial beds. They emphasize the importance of learning from mistakes and planning ahead.
Also, September is the perfect time to plant garlic – we explain how.
As the episode wraps up, they talk about storing apples for winter and share a top tip for making crumble mix in advance. They also invite listeners to share their favourite recipes and plot disasters for future episodes.
