Podcasts about Gardening

Have you ever wished your garden harvest could make dinner easier months after the growing season ends? In this episode, I'm welcoming Crystal from Whole-Fed Homestead back to the podcast to talk about her newest cookbook, Freeze Fresh Meal Prep. While many gardeners know they can freeze vegetables, Crystal shares a different approach: turning your harvest into meal starters, soups, breakfasts, side dishes, and desserts that make cooking easier all winter long. We discuss which vegetables freeze best, how to decide when freezer meal prep is worth the extra effort, and why preserving food in a way you'll actually use is often the best strategy. Whether you have a large garden or harvest just a few vegetables at a time from raised beds or containers, you'll walk away with practical ideas for making the most of every harvest. In This Episode Why meal starters can be more practical than freezing vegetables individually Which vegetables hold up best in the freezer The difference between fully prepared freezer meals and meal starters How to know when freezer meal prep is worth the extra work Tips for preserving smaller harvests throughout the season Crystal's favorite freezer recipes she never wants to be without How freezer meal prep helps simplify busy weeknights Join Me for the Fall Garden Workshop Want to extend your harvest into autumn? Join me for my Fall Garden Workshop where I'll show you exactly what to plant, when to plant it, and how to create a productive fall garden.

We need to do something about it.I'm a first-time homesteader who spent most of my life buying tomatoes instead of growing them, and this episode is the honest reckoning I had once I started putting seeds in the ground.Two generations ago, gardens weren't a hobby or a lifestyle. They were a basic household skill, right alongside cooking and cleaning. Then convenience arrived, supermarkets grew, and the knowledge my great-grandparents took for granted disappeared inside a single lifetime.I want to talk about how that happened, why the Victory Garden Movement produced more than vegetables, and why the perfect lawn might be one of the strangest trades we've ever made.If gardening feels intimidating, that's the point I want to sit with. It shouldn't be, and the fix is easier than you think.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[5:13] Practical knowledge disappears within a generation or two without practice[9:35] The beginner mistake of planting what looks cool in the catalog instead of what your family eats[12:47] He who controls the food controls the people, and the grocery store rollout may not be a coincidence[15:46] Gardening is actually a soil project, not a plant project[19:14] Planting flowers alongside vegetables and why nature never separates them[25:32] The five reasons we stopped growing our own food, and why lawns are a psyop Related Gubba Homestead Episodes:11 Easy Things You Can Do Today to Start Homesteading (From Anywhere)Why I'm Buying Old Tech Before 2030Resources Mentioned:Ultimate Garden Planner | WebsiteFind more from Gubba: Gubba Homestead | X | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | WebsiteGubba Homestead Products | Shop

Summer is here - 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 gardener's 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 their planty spaces, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.Wow it is dry out there and the temperatures are well above the norm for long periods - so both Lucy and Saul are, to say the least, continuing in good British form - 'mad dogs and Englishmen' comes to mind. Gardening still needs to be done though - if just the watering - so Lucy has been continuing to shape her client's plots and Saul has spent almost 12 days getting ready and then half-wilting at RHS Badminton - so listen in to find out how that goes - and if the worse happens at least we can all go for a dip in Lucy's new hottub!Instagram links:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensSaul plantsmansaulIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

In this episode, I interview El Cannasseur to challenge one of the most common beliefs in living soil gardening. We discuss what living soil really is, whether large containers are actually necessary, and why he has found success growing in much smaller containers. The conversation also covers his grow setup, soil mix, feeding regimen, reusing soil, and common misconceptions about living soil. Support the show

Have you heard of Nostoc? It's scientific name, Nostoc commune, sounds like a chat between Trump and Putin but it's actually a living organism that troubles more than a few Kiwis on their quarter acre paradise. Brown-green “gorilla snot” is another name, star jelly, witch's butter, and mare's eggs... But most folk call it brown, slimy scum. It's a colony of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that form dense gelatinous mats of slimy and leathery bits and pieces on driveways, gravel, and bare soil. It is usually terrestrial but can also be aquatic (such as in wet paddy fields). The trouble with this stuff is its persistence and difficulty to control. It reproduces by binary fission, meaning each cell simply splits in two when conditions are suitable. Gardeners often complain that it thrives on Roundup weedkiller, and most other weedkillers for that matter (I doubt that, by the way!!). Chlorine and salt don't work, and bleach simply runs off the rubbery squishy invader. Copper sulphate and sodium hypochloride are also ineffective. On the various online “help me” websites (hilarious to read, by the way) people state that some Benzalkonium chloride (a quaternary ammonium compound often used as an algaecide) may be the answer. Why is it so difficult? Nostoc occurs anywhere from the tropics to the dry valleys in Antarctica – an impressive range of climatological conditions. In summer it dries out to a crispy, brown material, while in winter it's lush, soft, and spongy, and blueish green or olive green. It's particularly good at coping with water stress. A colleague once did some experiments showing that it could lose more than 70% of its weight in water before cell metabolism was affected – hence its success on driveway shingles. It grows on alkaline soils in the tropics and doesn't care about brackish water either. It's resistant to heat as well as continuous freezing/thawing cycles and it produces no oxygen when it's dormant. Despite the fact it hasn't got Chloroplasts, it can fix Nitrogen from the atmosphere. Nostoc is eaten in Asia, but it's not recommended (there have been some suggestions of toxicity). Having said that, some varieties (such as Nostoc commune var. sphaeroides) may be beneficial by means of an anti-inflammatory mechanism. So… how do we control it on our driveways? Good question!

It's mid summer and if you haven't been staking your floppiest floppers, the chance is you haven't quite gotten away with it. Some plants stand tall on their own. Others need a little help.In this Barrel Aged One More Sip of The Garden MIxer Leslie Harris and Marianne Willburn tackle one of gardening's most practical—and most overlooked—skills: staking. They discuss which plants are worth staking, which ones are better left alone, how to make supports nearly invisible, and why choosing the right plants in the first place can save you a lot of work.Along the way they share techniques learned at Great Dixter, the beauty of traditional pea-sticking, why timing matters, and a few confessions about staking jobs that never quite happened.Whether you're growing peonies, delphiniums, dahlias, grasses, or other tall perennials, this conversation will help you keep your garden looking natural instead of looking like a tomato patch.Gardening shouldn't be boring.

BC Today gardening columnist Brian Minter is back to answer all your gardening questions

What does accessibility mean in the garden? In a public garden? Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit NJ, an historic estate and garden, has been considering these questions intensely. How to increase accessibility for visitors and yet maintain the equally important sense of being in and with nature. One result of their thoughtful deliberations is their Path For All, which opened in May of 2026. Three members of their team join Jennifer Jewell this week to share more about their 130-plus-year history as a garden and their 50+-year history of increasing accessibility for all to loving, living with, and learning from wild and cultivated landscapes.

Summer gardens are in full production, but extreme heat and changing weather patterns can create challenges for even the most experienced gardeners. In this episode of Hort Culture, Ray and Jessica discuss what they're seeing across Kentucky gardens as temperatures climb and crops begin producing.The conversation covers how prolonged heat affects common garden vegetables, including tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, green beans, berries, melons, and pumpkins. They explain common heat-related issues such as blossom drop, delayed ripening, leaf roll, blossom-end rot, sunscald, bitter cucumbers, uneven pollination, and reduced fruit set. The hosts also share practical strategies for helping gardens withstand summer stress through proper watering, mulching, thoughtful pruning, shade management, and variety selection.Along the way, they swap stories from their own gardens, including Jessica's children's "play garden," preserving the summer harvest, county fair gardening, and the excitement—and occasional frustrations—that come with growing your own food.They wrap up by looking ahead to fall gardening, discussing why July is the time to begin planning and planting cool-season crops like carrots, spinach, broccoli, kale, and other fall favorites.Whether you're managing a backyard vegetable patch or simply trying to keep your tomatoes happy through the hottest days of summer, this episode is packed with timely tips to help your garden continue producing despite the heat.Help your garden weather a heatwaveKeep gardens thriving through the heatHeat Causes Problems With Garden ProduceHow to protect yourself and your plants during extreme heatQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

This week, Nathan takes you through the many layers of our woodlands to help you grow your own native woodland garden. With a few design principles and many plant options, Nathan guides you down a trail of shady cultivation many people don't think is possible. Embrace the shade and grow a unique garden!

Summer is here - 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 gardener's 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 their planty spaces, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.With Saul attending to his Plant Heritage duties at RHS Badminton, Lucy takes this opportunity to give you an audio tour of her modern kitchen garden. Summer is now at its peak, so naturally her thoughts are focused on how to create recipes with all those homegrown fruit, veg and herbs.

This week on Life's a Beach, Alan is joined by the incomparable Caitlin Moran - writer, broadcaster and one of Britain's funniest storytellers - for an episode that goes gloriously off-piste. They somehow begin with Harry Styles' legs and Take That before diving into Caitlin's unforgettable childhood holidays, with summers migrating to a caravan in Wales with an apocalypse-prepping father. Along the way they discuss Japan, Benedict Cumberbatch undercover at Glastonbury, why gardening saved Caitlin's mental health, the joy of rewilding, Elizabeth Taylor's extraordinary life, and why we should celebrate people while they're still here.

dots.Nl: De tuinen leken op een schilderij met bloemen in alle kleuren van de regenboog: roze tulpen, gele narcissen, en witte lelies verwelkomden bezoekers die zich vergaapten aan de pracht.En: The gardens resembled a painting with flowers in all the colors of the rainbow: pink tulips, yellow daffodils, and white lilies welcomed visitors who marveled at the splendor.Nl: Midden in deze bloemenzee stond Sofie, haar blik geconcentreerd op het pad voor zich.En: In the midst of this sea of flowers stood Sofie, her gaze focused on the path ahead.Nl: De Keukenhof had een zeldzame bloem tentoongesteld, de unieke Blauw Venusorchidee, het kroonjuweel van de tentoonstelling.En: The Keukenhof had exhibited a rare flower, the unique Blue Venus Orchid, the crown jewel of the exhibition.Nl: Maar deze ochtend ontdekte Sofie dat de orchidee verdwenen was.En: But that morning, Sofie discovered that the orchid was missing.Nl: Haar hart sloeg over.En: Her heart skipped a beat.Nl: De reputatie van de tuin stond op het spel.En: The garden's reputation was at stake.Nl: Ze moest de bloem vinden.En: She had to find the flower.Nl: Sofie keek om zich heen.En: Sofie looked around.Nl: Ze zag Bram, de tuinman die dagelijks door de tuinen liep.En: She saw Bram, the gardener who walked through the gardens daily.Nl: Bram was vaak stil, maar hij kende elke plant van de wortel tot de bloem.En: Bram

Planting design is an essential skill in garden design writ large, for the health and beauty of a site– functionally, environmentally, and psychologically. Andrew Fisher Tomlin is widely acknowledged as leading the development of a distinct professional career path in planting design through his own work and as a Director of Environmental Design at the London College of Garden Design in London and Melbourne, where he has mentored some of the most exciting new designers coming out of the UK and Australia over the past 20 years.  His work bridges design, education, and industry, and he is especially known for his planting design skills and experience on outstanding landscapes over his 30-year career. A synthesis of his understanding and teaching about planting design to date, Andrew's new book, “The Modern Professional Planting Designer,” was published by Rizzoli, New York, in September of 2025. In March of this year, Andrew received the Royal Horticultural Society's highest honour, the RHS Elizabeth Medal of Honour, an award conferred on "those of any nationality who have significantly impacted the advancement of the science, art, or practice of horticulture for the benefit of all generations and the environment.” Andrew joins Cultivating Place this week to share more.

Proponents for growing native plants, especially in gardening, argue that because native species adapted and evolved in their surroundings, they are best suited for the climate, habitats and mutually beneficial relationships with species in the area. But does this still ring true as our planet continues to change? Can someone have a garden that mixes both introduced and native species that still benefit insects and animals? Ferris Jabr is a science writer and author of “Becoming Earth.” He set out to answer these questions in a new piece for the New York Times. He joins us to discuss the native plants movement, its challenges and benefits.
