Question Time: Botanical Tattoos, Bribing the Judge & Which Gardener to Eat First

You send us the questions no other garden podcast will touch — and this week you've properly outdone yourselves.James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift dig into the mailbag and hand out perfectly unreasonable answers to: what your next botanical tattoo should be (and where Joe's swift tattoo has been hiding for 35 years); whether putting on a show garden is only for the well-off; the most desperate bribe a designer ever slipped James on judging day; which Gardeners' World presenter would build a veg patch first if they were all marooned on a desert island — and, more importantly, which one you'd eat first; whether it's ever acceptable to take a saw to your neighbour's tree for a better sunset; and the single most offensive garden trend currently dominating social media.Two rules, as ever: no dead plants and no dull questions.
