EP.61 | Growing with Clare – Containers, Bulbs & a Touch of Scottish Culture
In this episode, Chay and Laura are joined by Clare from Motherwell, an enthusiastic allotment holder now in her fourth year of growing. Clare shares her passion for container planting, discussing the practical and personal reasons behind her approach, with a particular focus on the joy of planting bulbs.
Listeners also hear about Clare’s new venture—growing sweet potatoes—as she reflects on the early stages of her progress and the challenges she’s encountered so far.
As with many episodes, the conversation naturally drifts beyond gardening. Alongside allotment insights, the trio enjoy a lively detour into Scottish culture, chatting about classic favourites like tatties and neeps, and the ever-iconic Proclaimers.
Tune in for gardening inspiration, cultural chat, and plenty of good humour.
