Gardening podcast hardy palm tree. Penny is back in the garden, knees damp, varifocals dazzled and manure at the ready.
In this episode of My Garden Podcast, Penny plants a replacement palm tree from the Palm Centre, wrestles with compost, backfills a hole dug by “hunky husband” and gives her new Trachycarpus fortunei a proper garden welcome.
There’s chat about cold-hardy palms and why gardeners keep every scrap of string “just in case”.
Penny also reflects honestly on why the podcast paused for a couple of years, touching on work, perimenopause, anxiety, low mood and the slow return of energy after a restorative trip to Australia.
A funny, warm and muddy comeback episode about fresh starts, tropical dreams and the absolute drama of getting a palm tree straight.
