Fantastic Bulbs for Forcing Indoors with Tom Brown - Episode 90

There’s almost nothing better to battle the bleakness of winter than forcing bulbs indoors - it brings us such vigour and colour, and it’s far simpler than one might expect.

Whether you’re looking to force bulbs in the home or the greenhouse, West Dean’s Head Gardener, Tom Brown, is a font of knowledge on the subject.

It’s a delight to hear from him again on the podcast, this time around his exciting trials with Hyacinths & Amaryllis, and some of the more exotic bulbs like the colourful, cascading Lachenalias.

In this episode, discover:

Advice on forcing bulbs, which varieties need a cold spell, and the need to be unnervingly sparing when watering
Fantastic early Hyacinth bulbs to bring a sophisticated sense of nostalgia into the home
Bumper-sized bulbs of Amaryllis which continue giving year-on-year
Tom’s favourite varieties, from the rich beetroot of Hyacinth Woodstock, to the showy, bombastic Lachenalia Aloides

Creating Beautiful, Wildlife-Friendly Garden Ponds - Episode 92

Since we’ve had such a hot, drought-ridden summer, the value of a pond is greater now than ever - perhaps even more valuable for plants and wildlife than a wildflower meadow.

Between the lovely beaches from which insects and mammals can safely drink, the rich colour of moisture-loving plants, and the universal charm of Water Lilies, there are so many reasons to create a lovely water feature in your garden.

In this episode, discover:

How valuable a pond can be to insects and mammals alike
Tips for nurturing happy water lilies and how to keep algae at bay
Gorgeous Water Lilies like Perry’s Magnificent Pink, and water-loving plants for pond edges like Iris Black Gamecock
Sarah & Arthur’s love of Chatsworth’s delightful self-seeded Water Forget-Me-Nots and Candelabra Primulas
