Why haven’t my apple trees come to blossom? Which flowering plants can I grow in clay soil? Are bug hotels beneficial? From diseases to daffodils, the sprightly GQT squad are prepped to provide all their green-fingered guidance from Worcester. Raring to expunge a multitude of wilt-induced worries are RHS Wisley whiz Matthew Pottage, passionate plantsman Matthew Biggs, and ardent landscape architect Bunny Guinness. Also, GQT regular Juliet Sargeant encourages us to step-over the hurdle of windy weather conditions with a masterclass on growing stepover apple trees. Assistant Producer: Dulcie Whadcock Producer: Daniel Cocker Executive Producer: Hannah Newton A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
