And we're going to talk to you about scented plants, but particularly scented plants for summer. A chance to think about what could be grown in gardens, what, what works really well- Mm ... and, uh, for the season ahead.

The first thing to think about when you're dealing with scented plants is where you're placing them in your garden. So I think it's a really good idea to have them near a window so you can open a window in the summer and let that scent come into the house, or by a door so you can also have the door open. But e- when you're coming in and out as well, you can brush past it. So if you had something like a lavender, for example, in a pot- Yeah ... you can be brushing past it every time you come in and out.
