Description

September is a month of abundance and transition in the kitchen garden, and in this episode, we’re embracing it all. Stephanie Hafferty walks us through essential tasks for the month — from composting and sowing to harvesting and preserving a bounty of crops. Fruit expert David Patch joins us to share his top pear varieties for home growers, including the storied history of the classic 'Conference' and the stunning 'Durondeau.' Plus, Martin Fish takes us on a delightful visit to a historic walled garden in Lincolnshire, home to a 156-year-old grapevine and centuries of gardening tradition. Whether you're bottling chutneys or planning your overwintering crops, this episode is packed with practical tips and inspiration for the changing season.
