Pulham Market
5/8/202642 min
Peter Gibbs and Gardeners’ Question Time panel visit visit Pulham Market.
Peter is joined by Bob Flowerdew, Christine Walkden and Bunny Guinness to answer questions on growing fruit in pots and choosing shrubs for deep shade, and discuss which farmyard manure is best to use on the allotment.
Along the way, the panellists explore the challenges of quince blight, champion strawberries grown in buckets, and share suggestions for gardening activities that are accessible and engaging for people with limited mobility.
Also, James Wong visits Kew Gardens to witness the spectacular (and pungent!) flowering of the Titan Arum, one of the rarest and most extraordinary plants in cultivation.
There are also practical tips for sowing carrots successfully and advice on whether a well‑travelled oleander can finally be planted out.
Producer: Matt Smith Assistant Producer: William Norton
A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
