    This week joining me for some Pottering is Horticultural Hercules, social media sensation and author of Garden Yourself Happy, Jonny Hincks! 🪴 It was a real delight to have a true green-fingered great in the garden, and we had a lovely chat about the intoxicating smells of nature, the power of planting for our health and wellbeing, and Jonny’s lessons for lawns: don’t go too short! ✂️ It's rather a different story when it comes to fashion. So, lucky YouTube and Spotify viewers, please do enjoy a closer look at our legs. 👀 Oh, the joys of a visualised podcast! Now, stick on those Daisy Dukes, grab your trusty trowel, and let’s go Pottering... 🎧 Watch on YouTube and Spotify or listen wherever you get your podcasts.And please do like and subscribe, @tomallen Learn more about your ad choices.

    Umbrellas at the ready, dear listeners, as the brilliant Lou Beckett joins me in the garden on a rather dreary spring morning. ☔But fear not, spirits remain undampened. We chat reality television, the delightful side of social media, and, with plenty of thoughts on motherhood along the way, discuss Lou’s wonderful new book, Lessons from a Default Parent. Out right now! 👈So, pause Real Housewives, don't you dare forget your waterproofs, and come pottering with us... This way, mind the urn.🎧 Watch on YouTube and Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.And do like and subscribe, @tomallen Learn more about your ad choices.
