(Part 1) Cometh the hour... (Part 1) The Wiggly Team It's the first half of a two part show featuring Richard's chats with the guests who dropped in on the Wiggly Garden at the Hay Festival, but there's no sign of any of the Team to introduce the show, so Michael emerges from behind the mixing desk to do the honours. In this half of the show Richard and Heather watch Hannah as she sets up a new honey bee hive; Richard talks to the editorial team of Gardens Illustrated magazine about garden design; there's a tale of woe from Mariella Frostrup regarding her lovely Eva Solo bird feeder, and Rachel Harries gets a private view of an authentic gypsy caravan from wheelwright Hugh Peachy.

Back at Lower Blakemere Farm Phil's mind is on yet another pesticides problem. Which isn't entirely to the satisfaction of one of this week's iTunes reviewers... Still, we get to find out how many worms make a hooch; it's the sort of information you'll only hear in the cyber-highlight of the week.

However, it seems that the willow bowers are too small, or is that Richard is too big? Heather's claim that 2.4 million people listened to the Podcast in one day astounds Richard; but he has to wait for an explanation until after Heather finishes her on-camera chat with Jen and Beck, two cousins who are setting up a new floristry business under the watchful eye of Monty Don on his new TV series 'My Dream Farm'. Back in the garden, Heather's new chickens have been given stagey names, so they decide to act like stars...

Hannah is called for and is soon into her beekeeping suit. The excitement mounts, so perhaps that's excuses Richard for blurting out a State Secret!

Heather and Richard tour the Wiggly Garden visiting the pond, the wildflower meadow, the secret orchard, the tulip cutting patch and the vegetable garden, with side trips to the beehive, the shed and the greenhouse. It all goes so well that there's no time to hear the pieces the Team have brought along about chickens and local food. Still, Monty manages to slip in a quick Montycast. Listen carefully at the end and you might just hear the honeybees in the background: a taste of things to come next week...

There's a polite rant on the death of set-aside from Tim Teague, which Farmer Phil has to explain. Phil has an unexpected run-in with the Night Porter at his hotel. We get proof positive that Richard really is worthy of the name Frugal Fishbourne, although his success at lambing reduces the Team to tears. There are plenty of Five Star reviews, a Montycast and Three Top Tips from Terry Walton.

Richard is dressed for the occasion in his flourescent yellow safety jacket, but Phil seems to be in his bedshirt. There's talk of weddings and funerals, good news about bee colony collapse, thunderstorms and, the subject of the day, grain drying. There's even a new Monty Cast, and a one off chance to see Herefordshire goat socks available in America.
