 I find it soothing to be near water 

I’ve never heard of phlomis 

I bet it's nice to sit in that garden of an evening, with a drink of choice as you look out to sea.

Sounds like John Barry music just then.

I was in my mum's garden tonight. She showed me her raspberries, which she seems to be getting a good crop this year.

I like when Monty has little gardening problems as it makes me feel less inadequate - in a horticultural sense

I always remember my dad's onions hung up in the garage in bunches, the tops tied together.

Love them, in fact, there is very little I don't like.

 I don’t. I only wear gloves if I’m dealing with prickly or stingy plants.

Do people grow gooseberries now?

My dad did.

He called them 'goosegogs'.

My dad’s farmer friend had lots of wild gooseberries on his land and we used to pick them for his wife to make pies and jam.

Long soak in hot soapy water and a hard scrub with a nail brush and I’m fine.
