North Solent

Horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts.
Time: 42:10
Kathy Clugston hosts the horticultural programme. Pippa Greenwood, Matthew Wilson, and Christine Walkden answer the questions.
This week the panellists suggest some easy-to-grow Euphorbias, as well as giving hope to one gardener whose Mimosa was destroyed in recent storms. They also puzzle over a lack of Granny's Bonnets this year, and come up with planting ideas for creating a screen.
Away from the questions, Matthew Wilson speaks to Exbury Gardens head gardener Tom Clarke to learn about ericaceous soil, and the brilliant rhododendrons that grow from it.
Producer: Daniel Cocker
Assistant Producer: Aniya Das
A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4

All about honeybees

Hello
I would love to be on your podcast.
Something a little different. I have developed a rather unique beehive nest box beehive. And system of beekeeping.
Developed primarily for my own investigation of honeybees I have evolved a system like no other. Resulting in bees that are less stressed. Thus happier and healthier.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Had to say goodbye

Sorry, but the show’s just gone too far down hill. James Wong’s ridiculous woke comments as reported in the press, about racist gardening terms.....as if. Gardening doesn’t need an “ambassador” like him. Turning off from now

Great gardening show!

A true gem in the gardening podcasts out there. Very interesting and informational and I’m always inspired to get outside again. A superb effort with the recent virtual audiences. Haven’t listened to the show live before but find the podcast is a great addition to the show.

Inspirational and educational

I listen to these whilst driving and what a great way to educate yourself and make the commute so much more enjoyable. Keep up the good work Dan!

Still the best gardening radio programme

Lockdown hasn’t worked for some radio programmes but for sure, it has with GQT, which, like a garden in late summer, just gets better and better! Nice to have the audience back for some episodes, thanks to some clever BBC technology!
Congratulations to the GQT team for keeping the show on the road during Covid and for reaching out to a greater range of gardeners!

Very easy listening

Really enjoying these, the ones working from home seem so much better put together than the others and flow in a more natural conversation way than previous episodes!

Love it

I always listen to GQT whilst walking my dog, I absolutely love it, the advice is brilliant and there’s a lot of laughs too, my very favourite podcast, I’m always using their tips and advice in my allotment, if I’m doing something I always think “oh i remember hearing a tip about this on GQT”
Keep up the brilliant work, the best podcast ever.

Brilliant relevant tips

Have been listening to gardeners question time off and on since my 20s , has now become essential to my gardening life, even listening back over old progs you keep learning new things as the plants and your garden changes. Miss Eric Robson but Kathy is settling in well now. Onwards and upwards. A great backdrop to all those times when u can’t be gardening. Enjoy testing my knowledge and some of the dafter questions... and of course the gardening innuendos. Give it a try.

GQT

I have listened to this programme since I was a little girl when it was compulsory listening for my father after Sunday lunch. I did not realise they it would still be part of my life 50 years later. - although now I enjoy the podcast edition and can listen whilst I am in the garden.
Thank you

A Staple

Driving through the country my partner will listen at some great ideas and personalities on this show. It does what it is meant to and that aint bad.?
Perhaps I feel its a bit predicable, as are the audience who seem to never tire of asking rhetorical questions hoping for validation and quizzical responses. “We’re all very Middle-Upper-Class don’t you know!” (Even if postulating from a tenancy allotment).. its a bit too saccharin.
Inevitably some of the guest speakers are not so interesting, and sometimes you really do hear the permanent/repeat panelists give the same advice 10 times a year. Unlike the Archers the banality of this regurgitation will not bring me to consigning this to the offending sin-bin as there are regular gems of advice and reminders for the season. But I do wish the class exhibition in this could be weeded out a little bit. Perhaps a few less people sounding like they might just swallow their own tongues with pride wouldn't go a miss. Could it go abroad for example.. Jamaica? Perhaps try an under 30’s audience day? Maybe a fee more panelists with no formal education in the field, unconnected to a TV agent or Gentrified Estate. I bet they have tried some of this but the feel of this show is starting to get a bit repellent at times.

Life changing

This pod has really got me into gardening and has introduced me to so many plants and concepts - thank you. Pippa Greenwood in particular is so knowledgeable and love the new fruit & veg that James Wong comes across.

Needs some very severe pruning to get new growth

The programme is no longer fresh or inspiring, there were some very good new panellists used earlier this year now we have reverted to the same few names. Please try some more new people again, variety keeps the interest. There are a lot of very good podcasts competing for ear time.

A corner of joy in my week

One of my favourite things to do is Potter about in the garden listening to GQT.
Pure bliss.
I have to confess Christine is my favourite- she warms the bronchioles with her talk of raspberry gin!

My Gardening Companion

I grew up with gardeners question time, listening to it with my father on a sunday afternoon. Now, over 50 years later, I find the podcast a great way to keep up as I can listen while I garden.

This really must stop being top of the hobby charts

Absolute garbage, and why is a Gardening podcast in amongst all of these video game podcasts in the charts?!?

I'm a keen gardener and GQT is my favourite broadcast in any media. Plenty of specialist advice for the experienced but still accessible for the beginner.

Love this program! Always makes me smile and some very helpfull advise. This is what makes paying the license fee worthwhile. Not only is the man who left the negitve review not know what he's talking about- he can't spell!
