Once again we cover an array of topics on our Gardeners' World recap including fun facts about Hampton Court and Wimbledon, kissing orchas, Lazy Housewives, Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter, influential 19th century Spanish women, hummingbirds vs sunbirds, and Antonio Banderas. We also answer some of the bigger questions such as where Frances and Rachel found their dresses.
