  • EP7 Bloom or Bust - bird feeding fetish, pampas grass goals & festive foraging overload
    Nov 30 2024

    The Bloom or Bust Podcast is BACK!

    This week we're back in the dirt (literally) with another episode of gardening

    highs, lows, and questionable decisions. Join Andie and Jonny as they attempt

    to bring order to their garden chaos--spoiler alert: it's not going according to

    plan.


    In this episode, Jonny takes a bold approach to hedge trimming that's either

    genius or grounds for divorce (you'll have to listen to decide), while Andie dives

    headfirst into her seasonal obsession: festive foraging. Does she find the perfect

    Christmas combo, or just a bunch of twigs? Tune in to find out.


    As always, there are plenty of laughs, some near-death encounters with garden

    tools, and a healthy dose of "why do we do this to ourselves?'


    Grab your gloves, grab your trowels, and get ready for another rollercoaster of

    gardening bliss (and busts). Will it bloom? Or will it bust? Tune in to find out!

  • EP6 Bloom or Bust
    Feb 16 2024

    This week's episode we finally get to the bottom of who's job it is to pick up the hedge trimmings that have been laying in the flower beds since October!


    Turns out that ASKING for something to get done in the garden is the sure fire way of it NEVER getting done. Jonny and Andie discuss patio cleaning, Valentines Day and whether it's acceptable to wee in the garden!
