Eric Robson and the panel are at the Seedy Sunday festival in Brighton. James Wong, Anne Swithinbank and Bob Flowerdew answer horticultural questions from the festival goers. The panellists join amateur gardeners at Britain's largest community seed swap. While there, they answer questions on getting rid of wild garlic, training an uncooperative rose, and replacing a rotten fence with living plants. They also offer tips on growing carrots from seed and growing your own lemongrass, and suggest the best potato varieties for chalky soil. Given the wealth of seed-based opportunities on offer at Seedy Sunday, the panel couldn't resist having a snoop around the site, with Eric giving each of them a challenge to be completed during the day. Producer: Hannah Newton Assistant Producer: Hester Cant A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4.
