These notes may contain affiliate links.&amp;nbsp; Garden soundtrack Shamelessly pinching the title from Jack Wallington\u2019s fabulous 2019 book for this episode \u2013 which is only fair, as it\u2019s the jumping off point for this whole mini season. We\u2019re looking at how we can understand our gardens \u2013 even enter into a state of harmony with this space around our homes \u2013 but I don\u2019t think we can even begin without getting to grips with the whole subject of weeds, what they\u2019re trying to tell us about our soil, and how we can learn from them. We salute summer as it reaches its peak and, just as quickly, begins to pass the baton on to the next season, and enjoy a reading from the introduction to Jack\u2019s book. &amp;nbsp; 05:14 What I love about the garden in summer 10:59 A reading from the introduction to Wild About Weeds, by Jack Wallington 15:20 The first in my series of readings on understanding your garden &amp;nbsp; *** Thank you to Milli Proust for reading so beautifully from Jack's book, Wild About Weeds, published by Lawrence King in 2019.
