GARDEN WITH ISH 🌸
January might feel quiet in the garden, but it’s the perfect moment to plan for spring. This week, Ish is talking cherry blossom - specifically a brilliant dwarf variety called Prunus ‘Kojo-no-mai’, which is ideal for smaller gardens or pots and delivers the most beautiful spring display. Ish explains what to look for when buying a dormant tree, how to check it’s healthy, and why cherry blossom is far easier to grow than you might think.

Don't you find in your bra draw, there are always bras that you just, you reach for. Like there are maybe two or three that you wear all the freaking time. And the rest of them, you never touch. You never touch them. Walked in, first thing I see is the Easter egg display. Oh, come on. What the fuck? No. Slow down. It's not on, is it? It's outrageous.

Jude was standing there, start fucking naked with a hair dryer just trying to dry himself.

And we were like, dude, put it away. Put it away. But he was like, I'm so cold.

All of that, right after this.

Can I say, Joe, I think comfort has become my number one priority with clothes now, especially

0:49.7

underwear.

0:50.5

Hell yeah.

0:51.5

I mean, life is simply too short to be uncomfortable. There are items in my wardrobe. I think maybe there's one thong and maybe there's a couple of crop tops like brawets, which I really like, that are quite tight because I like to be compressed if I've got a t-shirt on. But on the days when I don't need to wear those, I just want to hang loose and I want to have a really nice soft fabric. And that is my ultimate dream bit of underwear. That's why I love stripe and stare so much. Their knickers are unbelievably comfortable. They're soft, they're breathable, really kind to your skin. Yeah, they're made from natural fibres. There are no nasty chemicals. And I think you really notice the difference straight away. And I love that they don't just stop at knickers. Their brawlets are brilliant, no underwire, no digging in. And their sleepwear is so comfy, you won't want to take it off in the morning. Honestly, once you start wearing them, they just slowly take over your drawer. They do. And they do them in lovely colours. It feels like one of those small upgrades that makes a huge difference to your day. Yeah, and also, Stripe and Stair are a female-led B-Corp, which is something I really love supporting. If you want to try them, visit Stripe and Stair.com and use the code Dig It 20.

It's got to be massive. There's a load of us. And it's got to be nice and deep and seriously comfortable. I also always agonise over the fabric and the colour as well. Because it's obviously, it's like the centrepiece of your home. It's one of the most important decisions that you make when you're coming to decorate a room, I think. You don't just sit on it. You live on it. I mean, we do. You eat on it. I mean, not actually. But you talk on it. you watch telly on it, you fall asleep on it quite often. It's basically, it's like a member of the family.

2:37.7

It really is. on it. I mean, not actually, but you talk on it, you watch telly on it, you fall asleep on it quite

often. It's basically, it's like a member of the family. It really is. I think people can rush it.

2:39.9

I'm guilty of that. They panic by a sofa because they need one quickly. And then six months

2:44.4

later, you're sitting there thinking, this is actually really not very comfortable. What have we

2:48.3

done? I recently got a sofa from Sofology and they are very

2:52.9

pro being fussy because they know what a huge decision it is. They actually encourage it. They

2:59.5

want you to find the sofa that works for your space, your life and your style. I started my search

3:05.0

on the website and then I went into the store around here in

3:08.4

Hove. Absolutely no pressure. No one chasing me around. The sophologists, love that as a name,

3:13.8

are there if you want help and they really know what they're talking about. Sizes, fabrics,

3:18.4

shapes, big family sofas, all of it. They know it all. That sounds very good indeed because

3:23.3

the sofa is, it's like a centrepiece of your home. So it's worth taking your time and getting it right. Which one did you end up getting? I got the cricket, two-seater in like a wine, claret colour, really rich. Cannot wait for it to arrive. It sounds lovely. If you're thinking about changing your sofa or you've just
