About this episode
Could you grow a pumpkin the size of Jabba the Hutt, or a floral arrangement that evokes a bridge over the M6? James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift discuss the skill and the skullduggery on display at gardening shows this summer, and ask - what's really going on in the world of competitive gardening? Plus they answer your questions about untidy tools, the ideal gnome height and what happens when your clematis offends the neighbours.
