Parker's Patch

@patmarsh See I do practise what I preach #tomatoes

@patmarsh @BBCRadioKent @BBCSurrey @BBCSussex And maybe a luffa! 😂

There’s already plenty of green fingered listeners calling @BBCRadioKent, @BBCSurrey & @BBCSussex on 0800 756 1111. Our Gardening Expert Julia Parker @ParkersPatch joins me in the studio from 10am. Topics on the agenda today include potatoes, rhubarb, tomatoes and dahlias.

Talking of Sunday lunch @patmarsh Mr P nailed it today but the homegrown broccoli was the winning ingredient 🌱👍🏻

Well that was fun Luffas, loo rolls and a lovely show @patmarsh

A huge thank you to both @MarianBoswall & @ParkersPatch for a fascinating talk & to @JohnPye7 of The Bookshop, East Grinstead for coming & selling his books. We also couldn't do these events without our amazing volunteer Lyn - always with a smile on her face! @SurreyLibraries

Really looking forward to this event 🌱

I wasn’t joking @patmarsh Peppermint chard taller than me, it’s time to say goodbye but what a veggie to grow.

@patmarsh @BBCRadioKent @BBCSussex @BBCSurrey On my way 🌱🌱🌱

A few growing tips for May @Alitex instagram.com/reel/DJbyFsisc…

Not sure if it’s the luffa on a stick or my winning parsnip I’m more excited about! As always we had a lot of fun @bbcradiokent @patmarsh this morning. Commiserations to the mister 😂 Merry Christmas to the team.

@patmarsh @claralaramae It was the right result 😂

Over the past year, our gardening expert Julia Parker @ParkersPatch and her husband Nick have been competing to grow the Perfect Parsnip. One of them escaped & took over the show - I had to beat it off with a broom! Producer @claralaramae awarded the prize to Julia. #SorryNick

@patmarsh @ReallyNick1 I’m in for the long haul !

@ReallyNick1 @ParkersPatch Magnificent specimens Nick - congratulations! @ParkersPatch should throw in the trowel now and simply concede defeat. #SlowAndSteady

@patmarsh Latest news, my parsnip seeds have nearly ALL germinated. This is the first big step towards beating, no thrashing @ParkersPatch in the parsnip competition.#rhs #bbcsussex #parsnipwinner

@ReallyNick1 @patmarsh Just getting my magnifying glass out 🤣🌱

@loujnicholls Possibly preferable to drinking from that pitcher!

It's perfectly acceptable to drink a tumbler of wine... Right?

@patmarsh @ReallyNick1 We shall see!!

@ReallyNick1 Good luck Nick - I’m rooting for you!

@patmarsh I’m on it !
