In the news The Forestry Commission has a new Head, Baroness Young and Peter recommends Hazelborough wood near Silverstone for its Bluebells and a lovely wood to walk in.

The RHS has come up with a new naming system for Peat free plants and plants grown in Peat.

Cacti and Succulents are our main topic of conversation in the episode. They are best grown in free draining, gritty soils. They also thrive in high light conditions with consistent light levels. They don’t like to be over watered and it is best to allow them to dry out before watering.

Echivaria, Cereus – Columnar cacti are 2 of the species we chat about.
