EP.68 | Harvests, Hosepipe Bans & Honest Moments.
In this episode, Laura and Chay catch up on everything happening on their allotment plots during the busy month of July. They dive into what they've been harvesting recently, the various tasks they've been tackling, and how they're managing their plots during a particularly dry spell. With a potential hosepipe ban looming due to the lack of rain, they offer practical tips on water conservation and how to prepare for restrictions.
At the point of this recording (July 2025), hosepipe bans are in effect across parts of Yorkshire, Kent, Sussex, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, and Wales.
Laura also takes a moment to speak candidly about her recent absence from social media, sharing a personal and heartfelt explanation. This episode blends practical gardening advice with real-life reflections, offering both inspiration and support to fellow growers.
