Chris finds himself in trouble and Emma has a brainwave.
Ed鈥檚 appalled to find evidence of more fly tipping on Grange Farm land. It鈥檚 in a field of sheep, and a ewe鈥檚 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鈥檚 growing veg, though she鈥檚 wary of trespassing on Clarrie鈥檚 domain. She has to admit, however, that her tomatoes are tastier than anything Clarrie鈥檚 grown. She used some old seeds she found in Joe鈥檚 collection. Having endured a long call full of helpful gardening tips from Jennifer, who鈥檇 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鈥檚 load. An idea for an online Flower & Produce show occurs to her.
Chris is irritated that Emma鈥檚 left it to Alice to get birthday presents for Gary and Tracy, instead of their usual joint arrangement. Emma doesn鈥檛 agree with Alice giving up her job, but Chris reckons she doesn鈥檛 understand how stressful it was for Alice at Pryce Baumann.
Chris is amused by client Thandi鈥檚 latest boyfriend, who鈥檚 married. Later Chris is accused by Thandi of pricking a horse鈥檚 foot. He鈥檚 sure the horse was fine when he left her property. Thandi鈥檚 a keyboard warrior and he鈥檚 worried for his reputation.
