    Pro gardener Lucy Chamberlain drops GEMS (Gardeners World Live MINISODE)

    So... going for a slightly different episode this week. For one, it's VISUALISED!!! Thought I'd try a whole filmed episode for my first ever minisode. Can't guarantee it's a format I'll stick too but would love to know your thoughts. On this week's minisode I'm joined by the INCREDIBLE pro gardener Lucy Chamberlain at Gardeners World Live! The two of us have been working together on their Make a Metre Matter campaign and she is a fountain of gardening knowledge so I thought hey... why not have her on to talk ACTUAL gardening. Lucy breaks down how she got into this as a real life career, her earliest gardening memory and puts you on a little bit of game if you're looking to grow something different. Also I must address the elephant in the room... it is loud as HELL where I've recorded this as they was a busy stage right next to us at the event. BACK TO NORMAL PROGRAMMING NEXT EP.

    Sam Steele - The Musician Who Worships in Silence (and Clearing Sticky Weed)

    What does it mean to have a faith in today's day and age? This week's guest is a man called Sam Steele who is journalist by day and an independent musician by night! But as well as the above, he is also a Quaker. On the SECOND EPISODE of Digging Around he swaps his lyric book for a mental gardening how-to guide and helps me deal with a slight sticky weed problem I have on the plot (did you know the actual plant is called a cleaver but some people call it sticky willy?). Sam's EP is coming out soon so make sure you follow his socials for that announcement!.

    Kia Pegg - On the Toll of Child Acting (and Weeding!)

    Actor and TV presenter Kia Pegg is best known for her roles across the BBC in The Dumping Ground, Doctors and causing mayhem on Saturday mornings via Saturday Mash Up. But on the VERY FIRST EPISODE of Digging Around she swaps her scripts for her soil and helps me out with weeding my herb patch whilst we dig around her child acting past, the psychological impact its had on her and… how on earth she’s ended up with a farm of her own!
