James Alexander-Sinclair joins Jane Perrone for a light-hearted chat about the many ways in which gardening can cause us harm. From weeders' throb to seedsman’s sciatica, every injury is badge of honour, but how can we avoid getting hurt in the first place? Plus some absolutely vital chat about cakes: the essential component of any garden visit. You can read the article by James discussed in this episode here.
