Even if your front garden is only the size of a postage stamp, there's always room for plants! From green roofs on bin stores to climbers up the walls, James and Joe discuss the challenges of greening up your front garden, and revisit some of their favourites. And the listener questions cover everything from herbs that dogs can eat and illegal pond plants, to the native plant debate and the pleasure of pulling weeds.
