Rest in Peace Dearest Peter
I discovered your podcast about 3 years ago and every time you uploaded a new podcast I would start my gardening day with listening to it. I learned so much from your wonderful practical tips and informative guests, your sweet voice was a calm in this turbulent world, your podcast was an escape for me.My secret haven. I will miss you dear friend, fly with the angel and enjoy the fruits of heaven.
RIP Peter
Such a sad loss to the horticultural world, I also am sad that he won’t be around to see whether or not he had colour clashes after all his hard work trowelling in all those bulbs.
I’ve learnt an awful lot listening over and over to these podcasts, please keep them available in perpetuity both as a tribute to Peter and for those of us who grew up gardening since the sixties with Peter, not to mention needing access as an aide memoir.
The other pity is that he won’t be around to bang the drum for the peat debate in the gardening world. Controversial maybe but I think he made some very salient points and maybe we are throwing the baby out with the bath water.
RIP Peter - legend
For a pod that is for The Sun, this is excellent thanks to Peter’s expertise - learnt a lot along the way. Thank you Peter. V poignant last few episodes. Felt quite moved, hoping that someone continues to grow his plants on and enjoy all the spring bulbs etc he was evidently looking forward to seeing. And the Horse Chestnut. He clearly had an impact on a lot of lives. Thank you
