Keeley Donovan investigates what an earlier spring could mean for the countryside.

Countryfile spin-off series unveiling the secrets of spring. Margherita Taylor visits Devon's first commercial tea plantation to learn how tea could be grown in the UK.

In today's programme, Margherita is on the hunt for the perfect cream tea. She visits Devon's first commercial tea plantation to discover why the UK could have the ideal environment to grow tea and finds out how to cook up clotted cream to go with it. But when it comes to the age-old questions, jam or cream first, will it be Devon or Cornwall that comes out on top? Keeley is in Kent investigating what an earlier spring could mean for our countryside, and meeting a self-appointed weather detective to find out if we're in for a BBQ summer. Jules is in Jersey finding out how one of our favourite pastimes, golf, is helping to protect some of our most endangered species. And Paul discovers that our tradition of feeding bread to ducks could actually be doing them more harm than good.
