When we prepared to launch our Newsletter and asked what Talking Dirty listeners wanted from it, there was a big call for Show and Tell from Alan Gray and Thordis. So, in a pause between our usual guest-focussed podcasts, they're talking about some of their favourites in the garden at the moment, including selections for Thordis' new raised shade bed.

From Corydalis to Ficaria, Primulas, Pulmonarias and Narcissi, there's planty inspiration a-plenty.
