Julia and Elaine are back with another delightful episode of the Potty Plotters Plotcast. In this episode, they embark on a nostalgic journey through old gardening books, discovering that despite the years, the core principles of gardening remain unchanged. They chat about the enduring wisdom found in these books and marvel at the simplicity of past gardening tips.
The episode takes a humorous turn as they discuss the unexpected results of saving seeds from last year's pumpkins, leading to a quirky variety of squashes in Elaine's greenhouse. The conversation highlights the importance of buying seeds from recognised suppliers to ensure consistency in your harvest.
Weather takes centre stage as Rob Rose, the local weather presenter, joins the plotters to discuss the unpredictable weather patterns, the impact of the jet stream, and the science behind the possibility of snow. Rob's insights into the wettest September on record and his light-hearted banter with Julia and Elaine add a cheerful touch to the episode.
Elaine shares her plans to relocate her rhubarb patch due to waterlogging, offering practical advice on how to divide and replant rhubarb crowns. Julia and Elaine emphasise the importance of giving rhubarb a year to settle before harvesting.
The episode concludes with a discussion on the differences between pumpkins and squashes, and tips on how to store squashes for the winter. The plotters invite listeners to share their favourite recipes for the next episode, promising a focus on delicious dishes made from homegrown produce.
