Well, Spring is well and truly upon us now, the temperatures are rising and the rain is still with us.

You can tell it’s Spring by how quickly the weeds are getting out of control.

You can also tell by the silliness on “The Good Earth” with Michael O’Connell (www.sixgorillas.com) and Kathy Smalley (www.smallspaces.com.au).

So fire up the Podcaster and join them on another rollicking time on the garden.
