More time for the soil to grow what it really wants, more time for us to start dreaming next year's garden into being. In this episode, we hear how weeds have evolved to depend upon us making room for them to exploit, with another reading form Jack Wallington's Wild About Weeds. And I bring you the second instalment of my series on easing into harmony with your garden.

Garden soundtrack Shamelessly pinching the title from Jack Wallington's fabulous 2019 book for this episode – which is only fair, as it's the jumping off point for this whole mini season. We're looking at how we can understand our gardens – even enter into a state of harmony with this space around our homes – but I don't think we can even begin without getting to grips with the whole subject of weeds, what they're trying to tell us about our soil, and how we can learn from them. We salute summer as it reaches its peak and, just as quickly, begins to pass the baton on to the next season, and enjoy a reading from the introduction to Jack's book.
