S2:E7 - From Bug Hotels To Hibernaculums | Gardening with Nature

Описание: Join us, Kerry and Clare, for Season 2 Episode 7 of Sow Chatty, our weekly conversations about all things gardening. We are passionate gardeners with unending enthusiasm for our growing spaces and a propensity to enjoy a good natter!

In Episode 7 we bring you our usual regular features from around the garden, veg plot and allotment: What's Hot & What's Not, Show & Tell, Daft Thing of the Week and most importantly did we find any Bargains of the Week? We end with our Community Spotlight feature where we highlight your Community posts from the week.

This week's Main Event is about gardening with wildlife and how we can help increase the biodiversity in our gardens by creating safe and welcoming habitats for insects and other wildlife through planting, water and safe spaces for habitat and hibernation. There’s so much we can do to encourage wildlife in to our gardens and many of these things you may already do without evening knowing! There are also some small project ideas perfect for kids and big kids alike.

Check in with us over our Sow-A-Long and see how our seedlings are doing. Have we had any more germination and how well are things growing? If you want to follow the grow a long it’s not too late. The 5 seeds we sowed a couple of weeks ago are:
1. Loofah/luffa (Le Bizzarre is our variety but any will do)
2. Cup & Saucer vine/cobaea scandens/Cathedral bells
3. Celeriac (any variety, but Clare's monsters were Asterix F1)
4. Compact cabbage Prestar F1 (or Pixie if you're in the US)
5. Cape gooseberry/physalis peruviana
