Summary

This episode features Dawn Isaac, award-winning gardener, author and perhaps most excitingly, FRIEND OF MR BLOOM.

It's like Scummy Gardener's Question Time as we find out how to get rid of weeds and what to plant if you're lazy. Dawn chats about her book, 101 Things for Kids to do Outside, and we learn an interesting fact about bunting. No, really.

Then Dawn tells us about her experience of working on one of CBeebies' most popular shows, Mr Bloom's Nursery. We find out what the man himself is really like, and Helen's voice goes all wibbly.

But she recovers enough to present our brand new section, A Walk in the Lady Garden, before we round off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions. This time there's a PRIZE for the best one!

Dawn's book, 101 Things for Kids to do Outside, is out now. You can find her blog at littlegreenfingers.com.

We're on Facebook and Twitter - @scummymummies. Do email your confessions to [email protected], and visit scummymummies.com to find previous episodes.

If you'd like to see us live, come to one of our stage shows! They're every month at The Hob in Forest Hill, south-east London. Tickets are a fiver from We Got Tickets. Our next show (Weds 29 Oct) is nearly sold out, but we're also performing on 26 November and 17 December. Get your tickets now!

And finally, this Thursday 23 October you can catch us at the Bangkok Bar, Manchester. Tickets are available via the Women In Comedy Festival site.
