I was SO looking forward to getting started on my seed sowing this week! And then I was thwarted by a really nasty cold so I ended up sleeping a lot, watching Netflix and endlessly re-reading the latest David Austin rose catalogue. So the first half of this episode is me with a rather croaky voice and a bunged-up nose talking about that. Luckily the second half improves when I was well enough to get into the greenhouse and start sowing my sweetpeas! And the word I was struggling to remember when discussing why I wanted to grow my sweetpeas straight up the fence panels is: tendrils!! I could not think of that word when I was talking and then of course as soon as I finished recording, I remembered it.In this episode, join me as I sow my first seeds of 2025: sweetpeas!What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ What happened when I was ill and couldn't get out of bed?✅ How to recycle toilet roll tubes to sow some types of seeds✅ My top 10 favourite David Austin roses✅ What I learnt from watching 'With Love, Meghan' on Netflix  ✅ Why sweetpeas really need toilet roll tubes or root trainers ✅ Why I'm elevating my everyday dinner ingredients tonight🌻 Follow &amp; Stay Connected!If you like what you hear, please follow the podcast so you never miss an episode.
