From making hazel hurdles to identifying bird song.

It's all about being outside on this week's episode.

Jamie's been on an adventure - to collect some fence panels he bid on some 60 miles away for his garden.

He's decided it's time to clear the end of his garden including keeping some dreaded bamboo under control. He's also removing his tree house he built for George Clarke's Amazing Spaces a fwe years ago

Meanwhile Gill has been on the hunt for wood to attempt to make a natural hurdle - hazle and willow being the main ones. She hates to admit that she's got to her age and can't identify a lot of the UK's native trees. First step - learn how to identify them (and now she can't stop seeing them even in her own garden!) 

Gill explains to Jamie the reason she doesn't wear headphones / earphones on her walks in nature and consequently wanted to be able to identify the different birds she can hear singing.  She's discovered a great app  'Merlin Bird Id' to help her identify birdsong when out on my walks and is now addicted to using it even in her back garden. Jamie gives the other viewpoint as to why he does wear earphones occasionally. 

Jamie has also been finding another possible use for his briquette mixture - growing mushrooms and is busy experimenting!
