Peter and the panel are at the John Innes Centre in Norwich. Bob Flowerdew, Matthew Wilson and Christine Walkden answer the horticultural questions.
This week, the panellists help a listener hoping to camouflage a treehouse with plants, they give encouragement to a non-flowering Bird-of-Paradise plant, and they diagnose a rather black tomato plant.
They also advise on attracting worms into your compost bin, suggest why perennials aren't flowering this summer, and assist a gardener on a mission to create his own cultivar.
Peter Gibbs pays a visit to Dr Scott Boden, Project Leader of Crop Genetics at the John Innes Centre, to discover how LED lights are used to accelerate the growth of plants.
