As the promise of the last frost isn’t far away, the team are hardening off plants in the kitchen garden, and discussing whether stroking them before putting them outside actually works. Also on this week’s show: Rose is championing the best technology for giving help and guidance on the plot, Laura is thinking about how our love for getting outdoors will continue long after lockdown finishes, and Blake is sending a ‘get well soon’ message to Queen legend Brian May who had a painful gardening accident earlier in the week.
