Hello and welcome to the BBC Gardener's World magazine podcast, brought to you by the team here at the magazine.

Join us as we chat all things gardening with the nation's favourite experts.

How do you create a productive vegetable garden while juggling a busy life?

And how do you plan, grow and enjoy produce from your plot throughout the year?

What low-maintenance gardening tips can produce luscious legumes, robust roots and celebratory cucubits.

I'm Claire Venice, content creator at Gardner's World magazine,

and I'm joined by Plantsperson, author and Gardner's World presenter, Francis Top Hill,

to discuss how to be a savvy and successful gardener, even if you don't have a lot of time.

Hello, Frances.

Hello.

I think that's the thing, isn't it?

We're all so busy.

And yet, a number of us love to eat our own produce.

How do we juggle?

How do we manage that work-life gardening juggle?

If you find the answer, will you let me know?

It's interesting because growing vegetables is one of the first things that any gardeners do

when they first learn gardening.

You know, children do it.
