The GQT team return to Balcombe for this week's horticultural programme.
How do you grow a decent-sized brussels sprout? When is the right time to prune a raspberry bush? What species of plant should be named after you?
Returning to Balcombe to answer these questions and more in front of a live audience are Kathy Clugston and this week鈥檚 panel - garden designer Juliet Sargeant, Plants expert Christine Walkden and Matthew Pottage, Curator at RHS Wisley.
And Christine answers your Cyclamen queries with an in-depth masterclass on the tuberous perennial.
