In this episode, Julia and I talk to Rose Armstrong of McBeans Orchids, one of Britain's oldest and most illustrious nurseries. We discover what makes orchids such a vast and successful plant family and what's needed to grow and propagate them successfully at home. Before you ask, rainwater IS required —get collecting now! Later in the episode, Julia explains how to overwinter your favourite chilli plants, and I describe the difference between bypass and anvil secateurs. As always, there's a handy reminder of the jobs you can be doing in your garden over the next fortnight to round off.
