Ep. 262 - Anyone for tennis? Saul has finally resolved his conundrum of how to clean up Stoneland's tennis court, while Lucy has been taking in the sights and sounds of a glorious Essex spring

Spring is the season when gardeners throw off the hibernation and slumber of months of wet feet, many layers and waterproofs and are reborn anew! The stirring of life in the garden is one of the years great experiences, and makes a gardening life such a worthwhile pursuit, not only is it good for the planet to see the earth greening up, it is also good for the gardeners soul. But there is still lots of hard work to get on with - seeds have to be sown, mulch laid, supports erected and lawns mown. So join Lucy and Saul as they continue their professional gardening lives in the pure heaven that is Spring! While Lucy has had a fortnight of family 'fun', Saul has been hot-footing it up and down the country in the name of professional horticultural development. He even admits that his beloved Devonshire isn't the only beautiful county in the UK - high praise indeed, Yourshireans! Meanwhile in Essex, Lucy has been relying upon the therapeutic powers of gardening and phenology to keep her mind firmly focused on beautiful things - from returning sand martins, swallows and cuckoos, to planting up her beloved vegetable garden - thank goodness for gardening.
