Sorry if I missed any #GardenersWorld posts this evening... hopefully by next week #BlueSky search will be a bit more stable.

For viewers of #GardenersWorld and all other gardeners: you may be interested in some plant history, too. May I mention my most recent podcast? #Ukgardening 🌱

Discutafel podcast 207: Willia...

Tell me, who sings to their plants? I don't. I talk endlessly to them. Most seem happy. I didn't organise a test, though, comparing talking to some and being silent to others. #GardenersWorld

Going to be interesting to see what this purposely poor, stony soil does with increased chances of extreme weather such as heatwaves and heavy rains thanks to #ClimateChange. One big experiment, and hopefully #GardenersWorld will tell us about successes and failures that result.

Re #GardenersWorld 17/4/2026, a plant that, as Monty told us, evolved in its native New Zealand/Aotearoa should NOT be grown in London's new QE2 Garden; & (even if she happened to be competent) we should be ending NOT championing #monarchism; more here https://walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com

When I was in RHS Wisley, a couple of years ago, I immediately recognised Matthew Pottage's voice as he walked by, behind my back. He's a regular member of the Gardeners' Question Time expert team. #GardenersWorld

Leave some space for wildflowers in your garden #GardenersWorld If they are not cut in Spring and Summer they will provide a home for #Nature #Brighton #Wildlife #Biodiversity #Nature #brightonwildlife
