This week, Renaissance Man Mark Diacono (writer, gardener, garden designer and most recently author of Spice) joins Nina and Jo on a journey though time and how the ****** we got anything done. Taking in a new twist on Brandy Alexanders and a quick dash around the mulberry tree, meeting film stars and whether or not it’s ok to tascalate, this episode meanders through gardening, recipes, the Beatles and yes, Duran Duran again, in the way that only it knows best. Join us for cocktails and plan your kitchen garden plant choices at the same time, without worrying about any of  it very much at all.
