BBC Radio 4 - Gardeners' Question Time, Trafford

Peter Gibbs hosts this week's horticultural programme from Trafford, Greater Manchester.

Which luxury vegetable shall I grow in a northern climate? Why are my potatoes perfect on the outside, but black on the inside? How can I get my wife to spend more time in the allotment? 

The GQT panellists are back in Trafford to answer these questions and more in front of a live audience. Ready to share their top tips on all your garden gripes are proud plantswoman, Christine Walkden, the ‘Mr Cool’ of the plant world Ashley Edwards, and passionate ethnobotanist James Wong.

Also, regular GQT panellist, Juliet Sargeant sheds light on the mysterious practice of potato chitting.
