I just found your podcast a week or so ago. I love it! Hope you’ll be returning in 2023 for a fourth season! (yes)
It’s cold and dreary here in the US. Listening to your podcast while I walk certainly brightens my day.
Mo via Apple reviews
A brilliant listen for those of us who love our gardens and gardening but occasionally feel we are losing the battle. Not so much gardening advice as having a friend around for a chat and a laugh while doing the weeding. Highly recommend.

After a long day of work it is so relaxing to come home and work in my garden and listen to your podcast. The sound of your voice is very soothing and makes me feel that all is right with the world. Can’t wait for spring!
