Off we go into the great outdoors for some down to earth chat with gardeners in the real world.

In this cold air breath comes in cloudy puffs as wind whips flurries of snow off the verges and plucks a mourneful chord on the telegraph wires. G Minor I reckon but I really wouldn&#8217;t know. Whatever, it&#8217;s cold, bleak and very unseasonal. &#160; Welcome to Spring, said the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; On a bleak, finger-chilling day, some heart-warming moments.  At the demonstration against the bedroom tax outside the Scottish Parliament,  a young Edinburgh student stirs the blood with invective against Holyrood Palace: will they be paying tax on unoccupied bedrooms? Like f*** they will. And, a trade unionist raises hopes: “This will be Cameron’s [...]]]></description>
