06/08/24 • 42 min
Hello and welcome back to a brand-new season - we’re back for a whopping sixth season of the podcast with new guests and brand-new stories and conversations and this time I'm using this as my chance to celebrate the amazing women of horticulture with a season I'm calling 'A Celebration of Women in Plants'!
Throughout this season we’ve featured all sorts of women from all sorts of plant backgrounds and in this final episode of the season we’re going into the world of TV! As long as I can remember, there has been gardening on the TV and as a little nipper I remember seeing segments on daytime shows with plants and garden tips. One person who shares their expertise and passion for gardening on one such show is Daisy Payne, gardening expert from ITV’s This Morning, my guest for this episode.
Daisy is a presenter, gardener and now author, with her first book being JUST published. In this episode we discuss the book, This Morning and much more, enjoy!
You can find out more about Daisy, by following her on Instagram where you’ll her as @gardentogarnish. Daisy’s new book ‘Start Growing’ is out now from ebury press and is available in all good bookshops!

Hannah Shaw - Co-founder of 'Hota'
Hello and welcome back to a brand-new season - we’re back for a whopping sixth season of the podcast with new guests and brand-new stories and conversations and this time I'm using this as my chance to celebrate the amazing women of horticulture with a season I'm calling 'A Celebration of Women in Plants'!
Gardening to lots of us – is a dream, something we spend hours doing, and in the process we’ve all taught ourselves so much. But, cast your mind back to when you first started gardening, did you know what to do and how to do it? I certainly didn’t and at first, I had no idea at all. In this episode I’m talking to landscape architect and co-founder of the new gardening app, Hota – Hannah Shaw. Hota aims to help gardeners, new and old alike, with creating new beds and borders in their gardens, with plant suggestions, design tips and maintenance advice right across the year. This app is about to change the way lots of us might garden, and I was interested to hear more about it, and I hope you are too.
You can find out more about Hota, by following them on Instagram where you’ll find them as @hota_app. You can download Hota now on the Apple App Store for iPhone and other versions are in the planning stages too!

Niall Radford - King Of The Tomatoes!
Hello, and welcome to Tales From The Potting Bench, a planty podcast where you’ll hear all manner of stories from knowledgeable, passionate and invaluable people who love plants as much as you and I.
We’re here at the monumental 7th season of the podcast and thanks to you, the listeners, we’re back with even more guests and this season promises to be even bigger, even better and with even more planty goodness! This season I'm focussing on those people who really know what they're talking about in a series of episodes I'm calling 'Experts In Their Field'.
Along with a brand-new season, is a brand-new sponsor, and I’m thrilled to share that I’m joined for season 7 by the powerhouse of the plant world, Westland Horticulture. Westland are dedicated to empowering everyone with the skills, knowledge, and tools to help every gardener give it their best, season after season. Great gardening starts with great compost, and Westland has a trusted range of composts for your every gardening need, from giving your baskets and containers the best start in life filling your vegetable patch with nutrients ahead of a bountiful season.
In the first episode of this new season, I wanted to invite someone that I’ve known for a while now, through social media and someone who is going to absolutely help you grow the best tomatoes you’ve ever grown in your life. I’ve dabbled, sometimes good, and sometimes bad, but one thing is for sure, home-grown tomatoes are far superior to any you’ll eat from a shop and Niall Radford has become a master at the art of the perfect tom! From a simple beginning with one particular unique variety, more on that later, to now growing over 150 tomato plants of his own this year – it’s fair to say that Niall knows what he’s talking about and in this episode he shares his exact method for growing, including when to sow, how to sow, and what to do next! This is one you’re going to want to listen to, and maybe even make a few notes on too. Enjoy!
If you’d like to see more of Niall’s interesting toms, including his growing setup and much more, then do follow him on Instagram where you’ll find him as @niallradford. As mentioned in the conversation, Niall also sells seeds of the best tomatoes available, directly from his own fruits, and you’ll find all the details of that at nrtomatoseed.com
💚Also, to get the best yield you’ll ever have from your tomatoes, get them growing in Westland’s Big Tom Peat Free Tomato Planters and better still, make sure to feed them with Big Tom Super Tomato Food too! Rich in Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium to promote strong growth, deep roots and flowers that will give you even better tomato fruits! Big Tom will give you 3 x more, 3 x bigger and 3 x tastier tomatoes, vs unfed tomato plants! 💚 💻 My Website: Visit Here ☕ Join my Patreon: Click Here 📩 Email Me: Here!
