Come into the garden Purple People as we take a look at the interesting histories behind the names of the plants blooming in the beds. 
Find out why basil is royal, why you use more rock celery that you might think, and which common herb is the ‘dew of the sea’. 
Also in this week’s bouquet are dragons, Spartan lovers and gladiators, plus we find out why the pansy is the thinking person’s flower. 
We also get through lots of your brilliant emails and we want you to get in touch with your own names for Billy Bakers or Chuggy Pigs…

A Somethin' Else production.
Susie’s trio:
Upbigged - built up
Hookem-snivy - fakery or deceit
Percunctorily - lazily.
