This time Elaine and Julia talk to Thelma Robinson from the Derbyshire Beekeepers Association. Thelma educates listeners on the challenges bees faced this year, the importance of planting for pollinators, and the fascinating behaviour of honeybees. Julia’s curiosity leads to a whimsical discussion on whether bees have knees, adding a touch of humour to the informative segment.

We share invaluable advice for Sarah, a novice gardener from Derbyshire, on starting her allotment journey and selecting the right potato varieties for festive feasts.

The importance of planning and preparing your allotment for winter is highlighted, with suggestions on fruit trees, paths, and maintaining structures.

As the episode wraps up, Elaine and Julia reflect on the joys and challenges of participating in horticultural shows, offering tips on how to present your produce and avoid common pitfalls. From the importance of uniformity to the proper labelling of jams, their experience as judges provides listeners with a comprehensive guide to showcasing their gardening achievements.
