Passage with the word north and you can find me on Twitter at Sumter ferry. To party with your desperate for accent on B.B.C. Radio it's not about me though it's about all of these gorgeous fellows in the studio with me 1st of all we were watching you Alan Gray the production team and I you were coming out of the coffee shop looking like a star and we decided. Just to take that he'd be better placed strolling off the yacht in Monaco. And Monica. He's like I'm very sorry I was doing that moment I probably wouldn't be carrying my own coffee now that's true actually I mean for you . I think sometimes just putting himself full with their what they thought of coffee carry on the Monaco trip when you think you have to Monaco. Preston all the courage looking super summary and very very Sandra pay very Monaco 2nd person to say that to me today I saw 2 friends in well known department store just down the road and they were doing some food shopping I was I and and. I said You look very very summery and I said well this is or could be the last day of real war might be getting slightly cooler so you know your legs might have to go in the inside again making the most of them yet you know if you're going to be stressed and all the craze later and see somebody on a sun lounger O.B.L. And soaking up the final rays of summer sunshine also on the panel are botanist extraordinary Richard Hall and we have the obvious to extraordinary our tree man Alexander Laver as well so what I don't really know how we're going to fit all in to be honest I'm a lot of questions I'm going to a lot of talking people well look. Good i just said big hello a shout out to John Aldrin who came into the garden the other day and we had a most interesting conversation and he came in because his brother I think he said or a friend of his but it had been to his rest in the year before and he's never been he comes to space with and he was amazed so do. Riding a chariot he has a super chariot John riding it. Hello Dear Good morning and why are only loony just will you can get away with that some people's clocks might be slow we merely from Brundle and an apology merely sent us a really lovely night and a wonderful fly for the cactus and chili festival in Suffolk which happened last weekend and we weren't here to give it a mention of his son's brilliantly I could have after a celebration of all things. Sounds more than a 1000000. Send us all best wishes for a fabulous bank holiday weekend thank you for the must the Merryman that your radio program brings often at work during the broadcast so I listen and catch up and chuckle my way down the A one for 3 sounds like a lot from a story chuckling title for a book chuckling my way down the a wonderful 3 you know I've heard I was a 1000000 times it's not me listen to a lot a lot of people said to me in recent couple of instances since we last on the radio which is 2 weeks ago a lot of people said to me and how they do listen and catch up so it's becoming quite a popular thing let's not ask the figures because then we can at least think you know not just what they're doing when they do a. Thing or so girls party here to answer all your gardening questions please don't leave it to the last minute because we've got plenty of emails to squeeze in but 1st of all happy people galvanise fairing because Keith Greentree and I when we were chattering away on radio Norfolk parched is the general Yang hard part is definitely the word you know if you know why and then come back I'm going to Mars being away and come back here and we haven't we haven't exchange notes and I must admit I missed something in a pot on might kill that is it's a modest thing in a pot to make nice things and. I must not allow things in parts that I didn't like that really worried. That one quick and hope it's not something expensive or particularly you know dramatic in its. Atlast I think the Bank Holiday call those of us who kind of went to went to the beach or got caught up in family stuff and then neglected the garden for a day or 2 when it was hot and boy oh boy looking back reproachfully Yeah well that is it does happen I'm afraid because I mean not only was it just hot there's a bit breezy as well and that sucks most right of everything I just said to Richard fair that we were just being going out in the evening putting a sprinkler on in the middle of the path just leaving it because you know shrubs and things are hanging their leaves I mean for instance the which has got premature autumn autumn color on already and that was imposed by the drought relief that it has now been dropping large populace around us it looks like it's autumn already yeah and yeah so well there's resin on a thing yeah you know just drop the leaves Yeah just. Some funny things to drop in their little. I mean they're lovely things to look at but I wouldn't like to not have a little mite thing you know which but rather supposedly But you know in hard part the other day and there's a whole row of chestnuts that completely unaffected horse well they look like horse rich I mean we're sweet because now we want to think about sweet chestnuts is that the minute it gets dry they will lose quite a lot of their doctrine of going out into. The garden surrounded by them and from about July on birds were gathering up just peeves and the long flow. Drop off and it's amazing how messy they're. Going to make people say oh I don't want I want something evergreen because it's got to have leaves on it in the winter and then you don't have so much rubbish to clear up do you and I say well hold on I mean if you look at evergreens they start losing their leaves their old leaves in May or June and it goes right way through to August so I mean it is a longer period of time when the neighboring it comes all the way to the floor so you don't ever look I'm a bad. Do you think the trees suffering extra because of last summer is there a cumulative effect or is it does it not matter at all there isn't a cumulative effect but it really does depend how the groundwater is kind of working and how much that drops away as well we really haven't had very much rain at all we get little spots of flash rain here and there and then not so I always had a bit of rain and coming around says I'm not a drop in there. Because I know folks a bit like that and so it's something that you know it's you know it's very much like you know the local you know them but also you go over to the west side and quite often we look at the radar whether things on our ground says it's actually hissing down in Hunstanton. Or running around a counter Yes Coming up we get nothing. And the same can be said south of us if we go south of us you quite often see the weather the storm clouds split and one goes north over the ridge to cross and the other sort of follows the road well Richard Great Yarmouth. Is just odd It's just odd of course plenty of people the 1st thing all that because it's so glaringly obvious is that the grass which they look and they get upset that the beautifully tended lawn is looking miserable but certainly last summer even though we were set by people say my lawn has died just before what should I do You were very encouraging and said I'll be fine grass is very resilient it is huge news and it is yeah so people are looking at their lawns and you know not again I mean it's not you don't look so you get the odd member. Of their peers and you know if you've been really scouting and cutting it short then you know more for you. So that the trick people need to set their their blade a bit higher you know give it a little bit of a chance to have some life yes means don't you just don't use routinely mojito no sense of the morning water for you know if it doesn't need to leave it a week yes but you know we understand that yes you get weaker. You know it's always the thing with gardening though you end up setting these dates in the diary we say this with house plants you know water on a Monday almost regardless don't even look at whether it needs it it's just it's Monday so they get watered that's typical question though isn't it how often should I water it well there isn't a timetable to it I mean it is when it is dry or when need it on a panel years ago with the nursery he said you just want it when you need to he said you know and he's right you know but the problem is how will I know that's you're with them all the time as us human are you do you know that yeah I was talking to somebody a gardener this week who I. Still had a real gem just one of those things that somebody says in passing and it's that they spend as a busy person doesn't really get to be in their god that much because that gardening for living elsewhere they spend 10 minutes every morning going through their plants they I think mostly have a kind of balcony garden so they go through so checking if they need watering looking at them and getting to know them and I think that's the really big thing so that you kind of understand what they need when and what they should look like when they're happy and when they're all happy and how they go past and kind of nipping things in the bud just 10 minutes I mean the spices he said and done people safe do tend to work out every morning and that never happens either but like you said something. That's right for you if you have a certain age and you're not you know you need to spectacles to read small print in newspapers but you glasses so many doing it because you'll see a lot more attention. And that's not always be expected and then when you don't want to do the work you need to get out and thanks. But I think you'll find that you know you're going to go away without any worries everybody obviously can't name the person I was talking to somebody. I was talking to like it was the other day and. She was having on the makeup and stuff you know and anyway we were just chatting away and I put my glasses on I thought oh my God take those out for goodness sake you can see every nook and cranny of. Their lives. It's really giving us all complex is now doing. To get back to plant some of this is what we do that rich that's something that's tough so you have you know nice and easy because they tell you you know I mean cyclone I mean 6 women in the house not everybody's favorite but they're great because you just wait until you see the leaves wheel to a little bit before you give them a drink again and that's nice and easy and there are other you know there are other things a friend of ours who. Well I had a small not a stray and used to do mail order plants and things very well known gardener and she always said you know what I go round every morning during the nappy test and she used to stick a little think it down the side of the court. To decide whether it needed water and I think about it. Yeah. And of course there's the pot plant says the lift test. Yeah you don't have to get quite say Marcie or indeed Luther said. The same compost all the time but that's the thing I mean if it's in joining us Number 305 to yes mother she's got lonely I mean yeah but you have to get used to the way the thing and I mean. We used terra cotta pot because terra cotta breathes I mean there is a danger that you can over water a plastic part of the water go just sit in the pot or the container underneath but not that helpful thing you see because. This amazing Welsh nursery that specialize in members of the Gives myriad families so they do African violets trip to carpenters and Petra callouses all sorts of one isn't one of those and yet it is I mean I don't have a say so quite quite a lot. And they say every member of the go. Put it in a plastic pot because actually close pots breathe too much for them and the roots on the edge get get to dry so you know yeah I disagree do you yeah I do because I've got a corollary which I got from great pics to plant there about 3 years ago and it's the most amazing tubular Flaubert like a foxglove and it's most and hairy and then around the lip where it's cream and then it's green on the inside with dark spots on it I mean it's not everybody's cup of tea problem. I mean because we're talking about planting I'm There's a fascinating thing and I got in a big terra cotta in the origin and it's got shoots on it the road very much it turns you know you know I mean it's in doesn't get I think that probably if you if you've got a plastic part you can get away with you know not being points rigorous with the water quality because here you see one just not stylish enough you know that's not about you know I mean that's where you are yeah wonderful how do you know love is you plant Yeah I do love about gardening with pretty much if somebody absolutely adamantly 100 percent endorses one way of doing something about the gardener will probably indoors doing the opposite of systolic knowing hirsute times with the Greeks once trying to. Trying to help them identify plants and I said that something was called something pure Bessie So what does that mean means so I said it means Harry and he said yesterday you said. Meant Harry and I said well yes we've got 17 different words for Harry and he just completely astounded me by saying well in Greece we've got 32 words for cheese party. I follow. The capital of cheese technically a cheese pie that. They are very good at the well they've got the better idea. It's not completely. OK I'm hungry you normally do yeah why not me and my chef onto the show thank you Alan great Richard Holmes and Alexander Laver on the panel which means we've got all of us who've got a botanist I mean Alan just everything really aren't you. Know what I love but it. Should be whatever you want. So if you've got a question I 103-897-3212 find Of course you can email as well well head to the inbox shortly because it's absolutely brimming we were on here last week and all been very diligent about. Sailing in the week as you can do some therapy at B.B.C. Dot co dot U.K. Is the address at travel is about 5 minutes away we haven't really touched on what people but up to in the garden I mean Mr Gray has he stressed in theri what we've been doing watering. I have been watering and I've been doing an awful lot of reporting because it's a good time you know to tidy things up. I mean inveterate propagator of plants like getting ready with my stock plant for next year that will produce next year's cuttings with semi tender plants that are Grantham omes Peleg only into those kind of things making nice big pots of stock plants of those and of course those stock plants I will take cuttings from which will make them even Bushehr so that next year I can either pot plant plant straight in the garden or into a big container not going to big bushy plant which is going to be ultra flow reverses give them a good haircut yeah yeah when you get long as you want lovely news you should Yeah yeah I was so clever I mean obviously most of the panel are obsessive propagators sawfish No not the only one Richard Well no I mean I've been yes I've been doing things like that but I've also been it's the bowl planting time. Any bulbs that are grown in pots you know you knock them out in July and report over a period of time nearly finished. Quite pleased Well I'm going to just I'm just about to start reporting Ricky yearning for those yes Jane and Morton who is famous for the regulars she actually mean and she said I'm starting my. Reporting thing tomorrow as well. And it takes a good job to do and because you know. You will actually discover all sorts of interesting things. About you that's assumed as a case in point we have to have plastic parts really because one regular you'll probably get 4 or 5 offsets from each one and you know you need a heck of a lot of terra cotta a class to be going to use those but they look great in little cloud parts for display purposes yes yes yes but for selling purposes and yes I need to be in a you know a little plastic plant I always love is trust and then you have is it technically in a regular C.S.A. You have on the wall by the Cathay which I don't think ever has a regular Is it it's always got some things you know but it's got it I. Was going to but I think oh it's so crass and common I can't tell you. Goldman It's. Looking models of animals that people have in their garden slightly worn pussycat bunny rabbits I mean tortoises Terrapins hedgehogs toads and frogs all of them which if you pick up for a song group together for the 1st 2 center as if. It amuses people I seem to get past that look. I love that you've taken something in a regular theatre which you people don't know I mean it's this sort of way of displaying your regulars and quite often it's painted you know a complementary color like a plaque or something to really help me and you have them in their little pots and it's very tasteful very chic I love that you've turned your regular theatre into this. Garden out of time consuming isn't it Richard polluted as good a rickety engine the maintenance of it I mean you've got to turn the plants every day really otherwise there's only one out yes. When we see them displayed like this occasion at the church at large another such venue this where the great in the good have all the time in the world to make you see top quality exhibition curricula as they will many of them not all but many of them will have a little bit of stick up their backs to to get them up saluted in the middle of the porch and all the rest of it made to look fantastic but you know it's work just at times and I think you know you need to be the kind of person is absolutely obsessed with him to get him looking absolutely right I'm a little bit more forgiving. So you've got to be obsessed you've got to be obsessed with nothing else and yet probably really now is that where it will be interesting to me that. You mention you know my love granted stuff about planting started in June because I remember buying from you. Know drought you know and they were in there only and labelled and it would have been for weeks but I mean it's funny you brought up bulbs because I feel like anybody who loves gardening and he you know it's got to that point you might if you just started out with gardening you might not yet be the bulbs. Yes but if you've reached that point from that wall is the attempt to not spend all of your worldly money on bulbs I think because there's just so much temptation left right center I keep looking at kind of catalog listings online because one of the greatest of those is there arriving the men she sends out God knows how many catalog she does that must be phenomenal but she has in that catalog she has fabulous color combinations that probably the most inspiration of all the all the catalogs you're likely to get if you don't use it to buy from use it to. You do your research from other places if you wish but it is a company that I think is very good with colors not with bulbs but with with other things Chilton see have yes they did they have changed out recently what's happened is that the children have taken over from mom and. They've gone full very much to Sara Rowe from Star all cataloged There's nothing like new projects the new blood I think it's fantastic and it can really get you excited particular about. Another one I would certainly on yours that we don't grow I mean you know I was reminded of this in the Chelsea Flower Show with you and we saw this wonderful little piercing red thing called a don't miss Yes Miss It's brief and it's fleeting but crisp You know it's a pretty you know yes you know you're in the rare British Navy you know if you if you don't know because I had to walk along together what is that. None of us have got growth but it was it was a proper stop you in your tracks. And there are those that are yellow ones that come from Japan I mean a really challenged group of plants lovely lovely things you know look not all day and be the one you saw but the pheasant are perfectly straight up your catalog online because yes well actually because I'm not I'm not picking you up because you're here but it is a very interesting catalogue. If anybody would would like to look at this because it has a very interesting plants in there that are not widely granted my undergrad you know written you learn C. As well you know everybody go look up the deal at the B.B.C. Radio Norfolk travel that was W.I. Double T. I O.-N. In case you missed it while I played the travel jingle is 26 minutes past 12 Let's check in on the rights now with Michael thank you thought he said we've still got a closure just a reminder there 140 closed a week came between Tate Britain Stratford some Michael for the ongoing work there the official diversion is why they went for 3 in the one for 6 and vice versa you also can't get to the 140 from the 140 on the happy perhaps and hemp and all roads elsewhere it's calmed down a little bit to be a 47 and the 11 looking better approaching the think the one roundabout a little bit of a delay on the 47 eastbound going toward Yarmouth blow field approaching the line top where goes down from 3 to 2 and we're also still seeing delays on the 87 and gaps in whole road in Yarmouth approaching the retail park over in King's Lynn it's still a little bit slow on the northbound side of Queen Elizabeth way coming from Hardwick roundabout up to the hospital roundabout and also a little bit of a queue on the I 47 and the A 17 on the eastbound side approaching the pullover roundabout elsewhere the sound of music of Music Festival of course continues of the wake and of the Norfolk showground the gates open day for day ticket holders there are delays approaching the showground park to be a $47.00 is as yet unaffected and nothing to report on the trains if you see anything or kind of bite me call 803897321 I'm Michael Page with the B.B.C. Radio Norfolk traps thanks very much Michael thank you. Keep your questions coming in 080-308-9732 why are you here you see a bit of quality music they get your knuckles on this. From side. You know magic. Even Get this warehouse where it's day. Long about a decade specials and of course Feel Good Friday. We get it from. Me Stephen but for your B.B.C. Radio Norfolk of the B.B.C. We all had to stop and say I haven't had luck goals for ages and really brought small to my face the wonderful bum free do you change into him on a weekday afternoon is the governor party here at the minute we have Alan Gray Richard Holmes and Alexander live on the paddle some brilliant questions coming in including one about a cat which loves and all could a little bit too much so I will come to those in a moment and horticultural what songs coming out but when you start talking about fabulous plants that we don't grow but we saw at Chelsea the other stop in my tracks plot was a pace which I'd never seen before it was laughter a set of us as Richard just reminded a. Very very generous soul. And it really is such a beautiful plan that if it's tricky all you know you can say is easy is it time but again it's a fairly brief blaring thing that you know these plants that come and go quite rapidly. So thrilling Yes they really are thrilling in that you would never answer so long you get tired I'm. Not your trees I'm sorry. You have to go the arborists No no no that's OK Just saying I don't want another way to take on this really backdrop you carry on. There are plenty of things you can put enough for it but I mean if you saw it in sort of March time it will flower in probably light and by now it's set seeds and you collect the seed and you start going to extent you can keep it going to be. Yes you can and it will probably self serve bit but I would keep some insert yourself in well as a backstop and there's another I mean there are 2 other annual pieces I think are great things one is. To take switches which is pink and white or some and pink and and whitish Island pending Yes. It's called the pin. Just think and you grow that in exactly the same way and then I can be allowed to 3rd and you pretty. Close to us which is a yellow one smaller but again very very pretty and it's got sort of. On it's really delightful little piece straight up he was going to thank you. Very . Clearly Perowne totally Peroni Yeah you like it over only That's what I've always. Liked the big. Brother funny little Peyton up I mean I don't know if it's. Just a different version of the little I'm what you call it a good friend he'll play so this it's turned up in my guard. Return to fairly S. But it is you get in that slot If I'm sorry. And you get it with other in white or that screen magenta and that's a cross between the 2 because I only ever see the screaming the Genter and that's everywhere but this one turned up in my garden and it's like it's blushing it just feels like a barrister's along so I think that it was. Time to. Really choice cracker of a plant because it's got these lovely brick red Yeah yeah that's quite a lot as well I mean yes I'm just a 5 to 7 or something that's rushed and you get a good a good thing going to not because there's curiosity this it's the smallest pig in the world and it's thought it was hard. Maternal I mean it's a tiny little flour I mean some of us people biggest know yeah and don't just gently seeds around I was honking some extra ones out of the small What color is a. Very soft More be blue but it's you something you have to look closely at just to do your little thing not have another one to ground. Going on a minute flowers on the ground yes just planted for the moment. Which you know. It doesn't actually flower underground but it flows above ground but it actually produces. Seeds underground Wow Very clever pretty well you know this. Is fascinating because of that research that could be done into some of these things as to why. Really is one of my favorite things about this completely out of nowhere you suddenly remember a very charming pea you never seen before the Chelsea Flower Show and you just on the off chance to mention it and then you go off on to a complete tangent all about your guide to what's. In the north only on this show you're going to get a tangent about peace maybe farming today but it would be a very bare agricultural take on it I will head to the phones in just a bit say 080-389-7321 if you phoning in plenty of what songs are going on particularly next weekend but one 1st of all that this weekend Gholston and district Horticultural Society They're staging a flower vegetable show tomorrow 1230 to 430 at the shop of this youth an adult central Madame way Gholston an exhibit of seasonal blooms vegetables pot plants and domestic economy refreshments available and a raffle and some exhibits will be offered for sale at the end of the show which is always a fabulous part of any show so head along to that one in Gholston 123-2430 tomorrow Mr Gray what do you have when we go to gardens are open in conjunction with each other. Cottage roughen near Kingston. In and holy close roughing the King's Lynn and you can go to both of them for 4 pounds. Chapel cottages or from 1030 until 5. And it's a naturalistic cottage garden created by the owner to encourage wildlife and all the rest of it absolutely lovely and I think it's the kind of garden an awful lot of people can relate to because it's not huge not grand and all the other things that quite often we find in these large gardens when we try right into the public eye but about prefer just to be stopped at a place which is not interrupted. Holly close and rough and Kingsley and there's a similar sort of garden and the 2 together are 4 pounds children free and that gardens are from 11 until 5 and the postcode for is not the same but it's P. E. 322 S. E. That's the chapel Carter's P. 322 S. E. So if you go to that go to those and you've been absolutely thrilled. Try to look at this long look through the reason I was on Twitter which randomly then started talking to me I was sent a tweet by the brilliantly named all school all on Twitter saying can we mention in today's garden party that the whole society and it was show of produce and craft is taking place today taking a Cademy that take even taking entries all morning that open to the public from 2 Why do you love an event this time around the garden party so you can go and join us go and join them I just say for any National Guard scheme that are open you can visit the website which is N.G.O.s and S.

So it is the garden party here on B.B.C. Radio Norfolk Saudis along with Alan Gray Richard Holmes and Alexander label will head straight to the phone so headphones are ready gardeners our 1st caller is John on the line in Alton brought I think you've got a clematis question John Yes I have actually. Brought 2 years ago. During last winter. Beautifully. A room about. 10 foot high now however about 3 weeks ago it suddenly appeared to collapse and many of the leaves rather model Brown. Marks on ready the leaves and generally looks bereft I have watered it regularly with you note. Tomato feed from time to time but it's just suddenly deteriorated bereft not just the path it was. One then treated in this is up in the. Shootings Clematis Well the most likely thing is I think yeah I was thinking that yeah John when you planted it did you plan to quite deep. Yes yes I did make a point you know and sort of cut. Round as well you know so it sank into it rather than sweet so I had to plant it about 2 or 3 inches deep Yeah well the the general consensus of opinion is to actually cut all the top growth away to ground level and then give a drench of a fungicide underside. You know you can get Project one shot and just do that and hopefully probably won't happen till next year Nabel hopefully next year they were start producing new shoots again from below grand The problem with this Clematis wilt disease is there is no cure for it yes yeah it's funny you know when I look at the leaves of those several of those tomato there are several. You ready know where the junction is with the actual branch you know sort of new new little growth there but it's very foreign you know but as I say the whole. You know they might. Turn like Clematis you know if you got some nice little new growth I would actually you know cut it back and take all the old 20 leaves off and leave as much about nice new stuff as you possibly can and it doesn't we're just saying now it doesn't sound like Wilt I mean it might be if it develops a bit here to have those young shifts sounds much more like sort of scorching the leaves are drying out. Yeah. But if you've got if you've got little green shoots that. You know thank you very much ready. Thank you very much John also. Yes. It's OK if you've got those little green shoots Yes And this is. Fine it's almost certain. You put it got cooked you know as things have done from go to King's Lynn Fred is on the line with an identification problem Fred tack and healthy I've got this plant I don't know what it is on the scene in like 4. To 4 tall. Produced white fronted like flowers which were about 2 inches 3 inches long. Turned into. Conical So you hold with quite strong pickles on it. My dear boy. That was assigned. As a sign to rest me I was just thinking Gosh it sounds like a new series he said pretty old on it so yes yeah it's your thought on up to cheer a very nice thing wonderfully centered highly poisonous It's an annual. The staying in the. Yeah I mean it I mean that just lovely things I actually had one germinate in the garden and I kept looking at it and thinking you I know what you are and it wasn't till this is the most we want trump it suddenly exploded I realized it's still an apple. It's a hardy annual. Credit you want to take seed of it do so with a pair of gloves on but if you take the seed from inside that prickly capsule when it's right there you can save your seed and plant it again. Straight into the garden next year probably poisonous Yes all of it. Yes I would so all of it and not case but it's from that same family is potatoes and tomatoes and don't like change and all the rest of it that whole family is with one or 2 exceptions is poisonous. But it's only I mean this might sound daft but it's only poisonous if you eat it. Was so much I mean what I mean is that there are actually there are I don't know probably 75 percent of the plants in our gardens are poisonous you know survive we've got things that are Priest. Thank you very much so you know you've got my. Friends on the line in King's Lynn and it's interesting actually spotted that plant in your garden. And you left it I saw tied learned my lesson in the past by weeding out things and I was I suppose I was in a hurry and I've been weeding the front garden for a quick quickly this thing is growing up that I want is this need to get rid of it cause I want all my other things to grow and I was waiting at Lowe's antiviolence probably didn't need that many empty rooms to be honest so it's probably good that I see in the market and I wasn't so enthusiastic It's not end up with any NEVER we do anything out if you don't want you to notice my hands up I think a lot more lesson properly now but I would say that when I drink too much. To give everybody. A run and you know you can if you dig them out carefully you can transplant them into pots and grow them all and put the elsewhere in the girl that's what I. Did. With great enthusiasm that people sort of think that I'm to run him something he wants to finish flowering on the compost heap but the tremendous perennial plants in the garden some of them I mean and if you go to the walls around the bishop's guard in you'll see and saying in the in the old line mortar in the wall of the bishop garden and I mean they they become and will. Flowers too and they become distorted they become almost balm Sylar because they haven't got the moisture they get in when they're in the garden but they lived there for years yeah they did it back to the science that Janice on the line is false and Andrew John if you take Question Time how old yeah. So the past 20. 1 to love chose. To. Still go out when I want to now but under nice to not as a clown when I let in the. Wife and I. Don't want to walk to. The End Yes Yeah that's a thing called blossom rot. And now. You have now. You go on. My mum's gone blind calcium it's calcium Yes thank you yeah so this is what is known as a physiological disorder and for some reason your plant is not taking enough calcium up so get out the Epsom salts and you might see a very rapid improvement right we can but. Yeah no but it needs it needs extra counts and the quickest way to do that is Epsom salts. Very quickly. You have heard that saying well he needed good doses so. Let's go to Mars so you just wore treetop. You know. Makes you did with the water if you want to mix it with you Tom All right that's absolutely far yes you know do you want to go down to it will tell you about on the packet but thank you very much for asking a question I'm sure lots of people want and I mean Prime tomato season prime blossom and Roxy's and Diane Oh yes. That's why you have a tomato thing because people want to hear it now. Diana we have to. Rich's obviously thought better of whatever he was going to say Diane's out in from window with a weeping fig question and thank you for all the e-mails we've had and we will try very hard I hope you're still listening if you e-mailed in for last week's show I mean not not necessary listening entirely since last Saturday until now nonstop but if you change back in or catching us on B.B.C. Signs we will try to get all those questions at Diane and Wyndham 18 months ago my fig tree lost all its leaves and Allen said it was shock if you see the changes in the weather said it should revive always worried 20 mile start like this in case they say he was wrong. Fortunately the next line is it didn't revive and my question is when do I cut it back and had apparently Diane's husband refuses to cut a hole in the roof which I think is frankly unreasonable so she said. I'm not entirely sure survive so well thanks to Alan's advice I want to. Sort of put her in the roof hole in the floor. Compromise. Common sense. So what can she do with anybody I think you need need pruning and I would say to prune that probably next March it's obviously I mean that the reason I said that is because exact. The same thing that happened to make when I lived in London somebody checking out this fact is Benjamin Ray's what it is this fake weeping pig and they chucked it out and they jumped in my direction that I said would you know going through that well I have it and I'm so glad I took it home and the shock of moving it cross London probably the shock of the cold weather I'll let you know everything else and it just promptly lost all its leaves and I thought that's a pig in a poke they know there was something wrong with it you know but they came back so that's why I said to die and that's a fact you know it will probably come back and I'm glad to see that it has to work hard to keep it. That size because I mean when you see them in the wild and see them growing. In the open big tree. I remember sitting underneath a huge one in. Rhode Island of romance and it was an innocent little square. Not trying to work out what it was. Going to lead to me yeah yeah but we were glad of the shade I'll tell you last. Is it is easy then well is it going to be all support or to manage to keep it in that spot Yes I think so I mean they don't like change they don't like being interfered with really and more than I do. Yes. Yes. I think the thing you do they don't like sharks probing regular watering and feeding in the summer months should see it looking all right but I mean the great thing is not over water a plant because if you over water it you'll kill it but it won't weep wilt and tell you when it needs watering so you've got to go to actually manage it I'm surprised to discover we've got a couple of basic questions gene in call C. Is text in 1st of all I must have missed when you announced that being a garden party last week I'm sorry it was my fault I got carried away I didn't realise what a walls policies it was a shock shock shock horror when I was in a garden party and kick off on the football instead I can the governess tell me what's wrong with my I said my other one looks very healthy but this one has leaves looking very poorly and there is a photo that I'm on fairly certain a photo that's coming on the email is probably quite similar which is I think from Diana and polls say God has any idea what's happening to ICE or open water and it's in a sheltered spot and it looks like this which is kind of brining critically important Bobert Yeah. Exactly my little man a little similar as well yeah I think probably quite a few Yeah but I think this is a result temperatures that we've had. I mean last up to 30 degrees probably I think we're about 28 days rest and specially based there so the Japanese maples and things they're all under story trees really and in the natural environment you would go to an area where they are grown as understory trees I mean they are fantastic we went to America and we walked through this wood some where the garden is where it was upstate New York somewhere I think but the garden was underneath the trees which had been kind that canopy lifted to 2030 feet and it was like another world underneath the stream is very big as you can see you can grow a lot of Holland Carthew garden distance not. Really lovely like that somebody's got to. Be standing there on. But yes yes it will be just to drop Yes always yes to go on a lot of noise is up in Cumbria per Yeah yeah exactly you know somebody came to the garden the other day from Yorkshire and they've been to Harlow car and she said we're not renewing our membership anymore so boring. I don't know what's happened there. Yeah I've been to many times clearly it's interesting when you think about what life would be like for an A So where it's supposed to grow what it's like in the East Anglian garden you can absolutely understand why they started to say perverse only because the late Mark awakened and I but if you say. Well you knew that anyway. Also know when to think about. What's to say. We're going to now we just have this conversation I always wanted to grow blue poppies and I'm alone and blue poppies I mean they grow in the north wonderfully wonderfully well in this cool they don't like it too hard and they like it moist and I want to grow them and he wanted to grow sisters and. North West of Scotland which is what well they don't like it but you know this is have preferred plump and bluntly people are you do that great Himalayan poppies that you stressed and it's not easy though you do. I mean this is what we often say it's the best chitter bases and do what you good at you know what your climate in your ground suits but you know like to experiment Yeah we do there's something just done a new autobiography of a bet it's about to be published in the papers today and I just really think there's one little quote from which I thought was it that she actually said and you know she is somebody was talking about the Chelsea Flower Show when she won her gold medals was one of those stands where she had green flags and Camilla models which new Nobody grew their business 4050 years ago. And she said but gardening is not a fashion it's a passion. And that's true isn't it you know it's about all the other crops I love and you mentioned it earlier and that is you know painting the scar with trees is Yemen I just think that's a lovely lovely thing people don't think of it because they look up. What we do it's the garden party only P.C. Radio no thank you very much he also looked down from my. Great people watching where our studio is based on the forbidden origin just glance down and if you're lucky you might see a man who looks like he stepped off the Alton Monica. Pool just quickly follow a questionnaire back recalls me and after that it's a question they've now finished blaring that recalls me not dialing Paul I can move them now can I lift them install. Plant them later usually I part them in all in all the wrong places Well I think cause MS One of those perennials are very fast into growth and they have a very short window when when they're really suitable for replanting So I would suggest that you do it sooner rather than later I mean don't do it after the end of September would say Would you agree no I would agree yeah I mean there are several I mean Hemmer hammer callous they're the same thing kind of thing they started their new growth very very quickly so if you want I mean some perennials a better interfered with planted divided and all that kind of thing in the autumn others in the spring I mean for instance I would leave asters. No thanks I was reading about this the other day and I just got read it as an experiential That's how well you know there's no hard and fast rule you know like when you say Stone free they said that is their role. There is don't prune stone fruit now and then down the line I'm going to value doing rules for you so I'm just trying to explain it to you I mean you you have to be observant if you observe your plants and see when they start growing if they start growing cross me or if when they put those little shoot above those corners about an inch long if you damage that lost the flower for the following year and you set the plant back so I mean you don't want to do that hammer Oculus they will die Liz hammer callus they will grow throughout the winter and all mild spells and they root. Growing the you know the plants doing it certainly needs to be divided in the autumn preferably you won't kill if you divide when the spring but it means better if you divide them in the autumn I think we should do. This but hold fire. B.B.C. Radio Norfolk travel let's quickly get some travel new start to keep you waiting Michael that's all it will be so it's looking a bit better than it did. 4711 they're looking good we are seeing a bit of a delay on North Road coming from rock to rock some to. It's still a bit busy in Yarmouth as you approach the Captain Aull runabout only a $47.00 and it's also still busy in King's Lynn slow still on the particular north side of the northbound side of Queen Elizabeth way coming from the heartland about up to the night's Hill roundabout just a reminder there 140 is close this weekend and the next between Tate and Stratford Mary and sometime music festival continues of the weekend at Norfolk showground it's not looking too bad on the approaches the A $47.00 is still running well just a short delay approaching the entrance if you say if you're going to but me call 803897321 I'm Michael Page with your B.B.C. Radio Norfolk traffic Thank you Michael thank you Sir Richard well loudly. No I'm standing on a says to the list of things that require. Probably she said to me I would have a clue. What to say I don't. Want to start in particular July August is the time to do them because their roots are growing really quickly now here. So I'm still looking for a role there isn't one that I mean I think when I was back I think the rumors were observant and just getting to know your plants and there's not a general rule. I thought it was like well you know you have a ship or it will be trees even or whatever you know then you know you especially divide and you just I was just hoping that them put it this way if it dies you doing it wrong that's a good way of learning. It's not always the most productive way of learning and it's not productive it's a good way of learning could you definitely remember them in their text when they said hello you lovely lot can you advice got this call back will 2 weeks time be too late to hard prune the peach hedges. She moved to her own room not depend hard print sounds like they've got a little bit why they want to take one side off your only problem is when you do things like that it's getting into was or to. Anything woody when you take a lot off coming up to water is it's all. Autumn is the the time of year when a tree or a woody Shrub is really expanding the most energy part and personally fun because it's drawing all the energy back so you've got a chance of taking quite a lot of energy stored back out. Stephanie a lot better done after leaf in early spring if you can wait what if you really can't because next I was complaining you had to survive the path and I went anyway would you. Have more or hold cultural expertise advice where that came from only one hour of the garden party down we have a whole hour of fun and games on the way so if you would like to get in touch with a question for Alan Gray Alexander Laver and Richard holds Oh wait 103897321 is our phone number on the ferry at B.B.C.

Norfolk news Norfolk or my. It's easy to see right here in Norfolk to tell you what they're all lining up for the fight already. Is 1 o'clock your latest news for the counties of Clare Worden Good afternoon Norfolk Police say they're trying to find out how a woman died in Norwich she was discovered at a property in Angel road yesterday afternoon officers say the woman was in her forty's and that had death is being treated as unexplained Great Yarmouth Barack ounce will say they've submitted a formal planning application to demolish and then rebuild a sports center the authority has raised 26000000 pounds to upgrade the marina Center which spin pin nearly 40 years now under Turner reports the Council has set a timetable. To close the marina center on the 31st of October and start preparing for demolition immediately however the artistic roller skating club will be allowed to host the season finale just over a week later but then it's all systems go the project hasn't yet got forward planning permission and while plans have been put on public display and consultations councillors will determine. The B.B.C. Radio news folks whether the weather center Mel How is all we can shaping up hello well hasn't been a lovely morning if you like it warm and sunny while you've been spoiled rotten through this morning lots of sunshine around temperatures the moment really rising quite nicely and it's a lovely summer's day but there is a change on the cards because we've got a weather front that's pushing its way in from the west so it is going to introduce more cloud as we go through this afternoon not only that but a few showers outbreaks to it doesn't hang around very long though it does clear out towards the east behind it look fresher conditions we will finish the day with spells of evening sunshine today's top temperature is around 23 Celsius if some spots could reach highs around 24 then into tonight under clear skies and light winds well the perfect recipe for those temperatures to drop way particularly in rural spots where they will be as low as 8 Celsius so a much fresher start to Sunday morning actually there will be a lot of fine dry weather to come throughout Sunday but will notice that fresher feel thanks to the north westerly breeze that will have and while I say they'll be a lot of dry weather through the afternoon a few showers feeding in on this north westerly breeze will make it over to us now they will be his and miss not everyone will see them but there is the chance that one or 2 could be heavy and potentially thundery because of forecasts and for the wash to have rich sunny intervals becoming light rain shower wind force for when Direction southerly becoming westerly maximum gust 22 knots sea state moderates becoming slight pressure 1009 millibars visibility good. I'm no holes with your B.B.C. Radio Norfolk weather sank you very much Merle whizzing lots of sunshine ups and wrong thing when I'm going and I stop it how do I stop it I think I sort of like that but the girls in the party on B.B.C. Radio know full well why not have double Mel Coles her. Search chat shows that during the news instead of getting a photo of the gardeners on Twitter Instagram I perhaps should look at the running order and see if I've got a double double whammy of Mel called. Extra bonus whether it's an extra kind of bowed bump or bonus govern party because we have plenty to fit in after not being on the radio last Saturday sorry about that. But we are here and serve as many questions as possible between now and 2 you can call text and tweet you can email and we can find a photo of us now on Twitter and Instagram at some very. Gone to party with your disparate drinks and on B.B.C. Radio you'll find my co-present Alan Gray of his trust an old vicar ages to my left on the panel as well the various steam very clever Richard holds our botanist extraordinary Tree Man Alexander Laver all here is well we are heading straight to the phones to squeeze in as much as we can William as a run of being questioned by William Good morning or. To do all that I'm.
