BBC Radio 4 - Gardeners' Question Time, Portstewart

Kathy Clugston and her team of gardening experts are in Portstewart.

Can weeds replicate the genes of the plants around them? How do you grow a perfect hot chilli? Are some gardeners naturally green-fingered?

Kathy and her insightful team of gardeners are on the windswept coast of Portstewart in Northern Ireland. Ready to share their horticultural knowledge are self-proclaimed botanical geek James Wong, passionate plantsman Neil Porteous, and experienced garden designer Kirsty Wilson.

Later, Kirsty visits Glenarm Castle to have a chat with Andrea and her prickly companion Precious about what we can do in our own gardens to keep hedgehogs safe.
