Welcome to The VeggiePlot Podcast. I’m Chris, and each week I share my journey of growing fruit, vegetables and flowers here in the UK, blending practical guidance with the stories, history and psychological side of growing your own food. It’s a friendly, chatty space where I talk about what I’m sowing, tending or learning, and where I sit down with guests from across the gardening community to explore their experiences too. If you’re looking for inspiration, motivation and a genuine sense of belonging among fellow growers, you’re very welcome here—and I’m glad to have you along.

  • Ponderings from the allotment plus two books I'm reading now
    Jan 20 2026

    In this episode of the VeggieBlock podcast, I share my experiences and insights from a day spent at the allotment. I discuss the challenges of managing weeds and the importance of maintaining raised beds filled with quality soil to enhance plant growth. I reflect on the various crops I harvested, including sweet corn, courgettes, and potatoes, while also highlighting the significance of proper soil management in a challenging environment like my allotment in Cornwall. I emphasize the need for preparation and planning as the gardening season approaches, encouraging you to stay active and fit to avoid injuries while working in the garden.

    As the conversation progresses, I touch on my future plans for the allotment, including the potential installation of a fruit cage or polytunnel. I also share my recent finds from a charity shop, including books on gardening and environmental projects, which inspire me to think bigger about the impact of gardening on community and ecology. The episode concludes by encouraging you to engage with your own gardening journeys and to share your experiences.

  • From chaos to calm, what a week it’s been
    Jan 13 2026

    From storm damage and broken greenhouse glass to harvesting winter potatoes and sowing broad beans on the radiator, this episode is a very real snapshot of a week in the garden.

    I talk through what Storm Goretti left behind here in Cornwall, what I’ve been harvesting from the polytunnel and allotment, and why Brussels sprouts taste far better now than they ever used to. I also share a Christmas food discovery that’s quickly become a favourite, update you on the latest version of my VeggiePlot Record Book, and explain why slowing down and planning is the most important thing you can do when starting a new allotment.

    I wrap up with a small teaser about a new gardening project that’s been quietly growing behind the scenes.

    A reflective, practical episode about finding calm in the chaos and letting the garden set the pace.
