0:28:34 > 0:28:44- If you get too close to them, - they will bite.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- You haven't brought an adder today.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- This is an African House Snake.
0:28:56 > 0:29:04- He's only a baby.
0:29:05 > 0:29:15- He will grow to about six feet.
0:29:19 > 0:29:29- Many children will run around in the - forest and get bitten by a snake.
0:29:31 > 0:29:38- Head to the hospital immediately.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- Inform them of which snake - has bitten you.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Grass snakes are harmless.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- They give off a musk.
0:29:49 > 0:29:59- They are not poisonous.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- The message is not to go near grass - areas!
0:30:03 > 0:30:09- Next, we venture into the garden and - Ieuan has some advice on potatoes.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- "You don't get something - for nothing," as the saying goes.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- "The exception proves the rule," - is another saying.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31- These blue forget-me-nots are - the perfect example of an exception.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37- I didn't sow them but birds dropped - the seeds a few years ago...
0:30:37 > 0:30:43- ..and these have spread and flowered - every spring since that time.
0:30:44 > 0:30:52- I don't turn the soil until May - to allow them to self-sow...
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- ..and why not too?!
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- If you have a glasshouse...
0:31:04 > 0:31:10- ..plant early potatoes in pots - of compost early in the year.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- These were planted in the third week - of January...
0:31:15 > 0:31:21- ..and kept in the glasshouse until - being moved outdoors in early April.
0:31:21 > 0:31:27- They were left to acclimatize in a - cold frame just like these plants.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- I harvested my first new potatoes - over the Easter weekend...
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- ..and I'm going to pick some more.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- Not bad.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- They are the perfect size - for a dinner plate.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58- It's the second half of April, so - we can plant all the late potatoes.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- I've already opened a furrow - to the depth of about six inches.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- If you live near the sea or coast, - line the furrow with seaweed.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16- Seaweed is amazing and - contains a wealth of nutrients...
0:32:17 > 0:32:22- ..including 58 elements that - are missing in manure and compost.
0:32:24 > 0:32:30- They are gradually released into - the soil for the plants to absorb.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36- It also contains a growth hormone - and an antifungal substance.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- On top of all this, it helps - to retain moisture in the soil.
0:32:44 > 0:32:50- Wash it to remove - any surface salt and sand...
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- ..before laying it in the furrow.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00- They do the same in Jersey - when growing their famous potatoes.
0:33:00 > 0:33:07- In Jersey, they grow a variety known - as the International Kidney Potato.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12- They are planted early - and harvested early as new potatoes.
0:33:15 > 0:33:21- The International Kidney - is an example of second earlies.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28- When left to mature, - they grow into large potatoes.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Allow 18 inches - between each late potato...
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- ..or 15 inches in the case - of the second earlies...
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- ..and 12 inches - between early potatoes.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- It isn't too late to sow - the early potatoes...
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- ..and strengthens - the immune system of plants...
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- ..to help them - fight against diseases.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- Don't worry if you cannot collect - fresh seaweed...
0:34:10 > 0:34:16- ..as you can get a tonic containing - the benefits of the seaweed.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22- This is dissolved in water and - helps with the growth of potatoes...
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- ..and every other plant.
