HELP. I’m filming something with ITV next week and need an apartment that has a good-sized balcony (that opens out directly from the lounge) and is within the M25. You don’t have to be a plant geek though, as we will transform the space for you... Can you help? Please RT! – at Camden Town, London

FAQ in Feb/March: 'Am I behind on sowing my flower seeds?' A: No....but get your sweet peas in...don't worry about your other annuals until April. NB Wait until you see the native weeds start to grow on bare earth.

My word of the day is "coddiwomple," old English slang meaning "to travel purposefully towards an unknown destination". Make your next hike, walk, drive or trip a coddiwomple and adventure is sure to follow.
