If you are juggling a busy life, a family, a garden and allotment (not to mention a flock of chickens hungry for home-grown veg!), Instagram sensation Rachel is on hand with some tried and tested tips for keeping things simple when you’re growing. We also talk rampaging bulls in the garden (free manure, anyone?) and share the jobs on the plot you could be getting on with this week to keep your plot ticking over!
