Growing Together Early October: apples, dried flowers & pumpkins

You can listen to the podcast here 

It’s early October at the Adhurst Estate Allotment. The flowers are still bright and enjoying the sun, as are Claire and Steve!

There’s a lot to do in the garden this time of year including pruning rambling and climbing roses, tidying plots, sowing hardy annuals and seeds for wildflower meadows. Pumpkins are nearly ready for weighing too – have you grown some this year?

Joining Claire and Steve are Lucy Lee from Ramshackle Flowers, who sows, grows and dries flowers throughout the year, and Jon Munday from the Blackmoor Estate, who is surrounded by fruit trees as the Apple Tasting Day approaches. You can listen to the podcast here
