This listing contains language that some may find offensive.
A series of five anthologies of poetry and prose in which Hannah Gordon and Richard Pasco celebrate the richness of our garden harvest. 1: From the Orchard
O 'er the gardens grown somewhat outworn
The bees went hurrying to fill up their store;
The apple-boughs bent over more and more;
With peach and apricot the garden wall
Was odorous, and the pears began to fall
From off the high tree with each freshening breeze.
Radio that you can taste and smell!
Producer JUUA PARKER BBC Pebble Mill
