David, the London Cabbie posts an iTunes review which cheers up Farmer Phil, who needs cheering up after a particularly bad week on the farm. Then, to round off the show, Phil and Heather receive an important American guest who tells us just where those 'Nuts, Whole Hazel Nuts' that got covered in chocolate actually come from!

Which wildflower can demolish an old brick wall? How many entrances should a sparrow terrace have? And what has been tied up with Farmer Phil's old knickers?

This year Heather is in sole charge of the gardening, so she takes the opportunity of picking Richard's brain on topics as diverse as discouraging an over productive peach tree; mulching with Strulch; protecting sage plants from the understandably anxious chickens; the readiness (or not) of the gooseberry crop; the wonders of the wildflower meadow; and clearing the willows from around the pond. There's also time to introduce a new bantam into the chicken house and wield the scissors for a spot of wing clipping. In fact there's so much to see and do that the show becomes a two-parter.

To keep the show on topic there's a main feature following the planting of a container garden with able assistance from a large brown labrador; and, for once, it isn't Toast getting in the way.

Heather has an array of sunflower facts to celebrate the launch of the children's Sunflower Growing competition. Ross Boardman from 99 Station Street contributes a recipe inspired by last week's Plant of the Week. An apology is made regarding the poor showing of the weather delayed Wildflower Turf. And the allegedly fictional Farmer Phil gets excited by the activities of Hares in his fields. There's even time for a Montycast and to ponder the question, 'should town cockerels be seen and not heard?'

But first there's the small matter of the election to sort out, via the unusual medium of Tyrrells limited edition Political Flavours crisps! Then Farmer Phil and Heather take a walk in the Wiggly Garden to talk about growing peas and to show Kelloggs the cockerel who's the boss. It's chicken by name, but who's chicken by nature?

Following up on his interview with Hilary Benn MP, Farmer Phil has been talking with Jim Paice, MP for South East Cambridgeshire and currently the Shadow Secretary of State for Agriculture and Rural Affairs; while Richard has returned to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage where he talked to the particularly affable Alex Heaton and old friend Steve Lamb - who, it turns out, has some unconventional ideas about childbirth.
