Pots & Trowels The Gardening Podcast

We say goodbye to Australia with an incredible look around the Barossa Garden - the valley is famed for its wines these days, but the indigenous plant life is fascinating too, as volunteer Trevor explains! We're answering your questions as usual with topics of fruit trees and wisteria this week. The weekly tasks include firing up the mower, clearing out the perennials and getting ahead with your produce!
