Welcome back to the Sunflower Allotment Podcast!In this first episode of 2024 we have a special podcast to warm the senses! Recorded before Chrismtas from Peter's visit to New Zealand, this episode includes a beuatiful interview with his sister Vicky and partner Shaun from their bach in the south island of New Zealand. They roam the off-grid embankment plot disucssing garden design, drainage, the comparitive climate and their wide variety of plants. You'll recognise some familiar vegetables and plants along with some more intriguing ones such as the feijoa plant and kanuka tree. We hope you enjoy! In the next few weeks we hope to record a bit more regularly. If you have any requests for topics or any stories from your allotment and gardening endeavours, please do let us know! Sunflowerallotmentpodcast@gmail.com @Sunflowerpod1 (insta and Twitter)Peter and Tim
