  • EP.60 | The One Where They Barely Stay on Topic (Featuring Anna)
    In the 60th and longest-ever episode of Allotment Diaries Podcast, hosts Laura and Chay are joined by special guest Anna for a delightfully off-topic conversation that starts with good intentions (allotments!) and ends up covering just about everything else.While allotments were meant to be the focus, the discussion veers off the composted path and into all sorts of unexpected territory — including family life, favourite Netflix shows, the joys and perils of 'adolencenses' with smartphones, natural remedies for stinging nettles (some more convincing than others!), and an essential debate about the best 90s boy band.Anna also shares the story of her own allotment journey. When she first took on her plot in May 2023, it was in rough shape — the kind of place where weeds go to thrive and tools go to disappear. But with a lot of hard work, patience, and the occasional snack break, she’s turned it into a productive, peaceful space for her and her son, Noah. The allotment now offers home-grown food, a retreat from daily life, and a place to build lasting memories.It’s a warm, funny, and thoroughly relatable episode that reminds listeners why they fell in love with gardening — and also why it's perfectly fine to go off on a few tangents along the way.Click HERE to follow Anna on Instagram.If you have any questions you would like to ask us or would like to collaborate with us, then please contact us on: [email protected].

  • EP.59 | Laura and Chay record on their plots!
    For the first time ever, Chay and Laura take the podcast to the plot—literally! Armed with a microphone, a questionable sense of direction, and an eye on the looming rain clouds, they attempt a walking tour of their allotments. Expect thrilling updates on what’s thriving, what’s barely clinging to life, and what’s been entirely claimed by weeds. It’s short, it’s chaotic, but it’s packed with insight—and possibly some accidental slapstick moments. To see the video, check out the Allotment Diaries Podcast YouTube channel!If you have any questions you would like to ask us or would like to collaborate with us, then please contact us on: [email protected].
