BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/07/2020

Chris finds himself in trouble and Emma has a brainwave.

Ed’s appalled to find evidence of more fly tipping on Grange Farm land. It’s in a field of sheep, and a ewe’s injured. He tends to her cut lip as best he can, and resolves to fit a strong padlock and chain on the field gate.
Emma’s growing veg, though she’s wary of trespassing on Clarrie’s domain. She has to admit, however, that her tomatoes are tastier than anything Clarrie’s grown. She used some old seeds she found in Joe’s collection. Having endured a long call full of helpful gardening tips from Jennifer, who’d been put up to it by Chris, she laments that all she needs is new ideas, not chapter and verse. She wonders whether she should take over the organisational bits of the garden to lighten Clarrie’s load. An idea for an online Flower & Produce show occurs to her.
Chris is irritated that Emma’s left it to Alice to get birthday presents for Gary and Tracy, instead of their usual joint arrangement. Emma doesn’t agree with Alice giving up her job, but Chris reckons she doesn’t understand how stressful it was for Alice at Pryce Baumann. 
Chris is amused by client Thandi’s latest boyfriend, who’s married. Later Chris is accused by Thandi of pricking a horse’s foot. He’s sure the horse was fine when he left her property. Thandi’s a keyboard warrior and he’s worried for his reputation.
