S9E1 We're back! After some time off, Alyce's trip to Thailand and some tech issues, we're finally back! In this ep, Tess and Alyce chat about Alyce's summer gardening fails. From planting too early, to direct sow mistakes and not doing things properly the first time, she fails so we don't have to, hopefully!!
