Although a final episode to wrap the series is in the wings; Mickey closes out the year of monthly podcast episodes during this time of enormous bounty. The seasons have come full circle and on the cusp of spring; peas, broad beans, cape gooseberries and scented stock take centre stage.

Now that the howling winds have subsided, Mickey delights in her annual pruning, allowing fresh air and light to penetrate the soil. Episode 11 is filled with news of broad beans, purple peas, lettuces and kale,  oranges, lemons and clementines too. And Mickey shares some important insect net tips.

With the passing of the winter solstice, the cool season’s veg gather momentum. Mickey reflects on the dual requirements of a kitchen

The roots of the spring garden explained when we began chasing the seasons together, were firmly sown this time last year. Mickey resurfaces after a wonderfully intense Easter weekend in the garden; digging, barrowing, planting and sowing for a repeat performance this year.
