Christmas is back! ft. Alex Ottley

This week on the Skinny Jean Gardener podcast, we’re diving into some festive fun as Christmas makes its way back onto the agenda! We’re exploring how to get prepped for the holiday season, even if you’re working with small spaces. Joining me this week is the brilliant Alex Ottley from Alex’s Garden Life, who asks the big question: What can we grow—possibly indoors—for Christmas dinner in small spaces? We’ll be sharing tips to help you create a homegrown feast, no matter how limited your gardening space might be. Plus, Olive is back to answer Daniel’s question: How can we stop bugs from eating our plants? And for those little ones (or grown-ups) who are scared of the dark, I’ve got some thoughts that might help! We’re even sprinkling in a touch of parenting advice along the way.
