Desperate Pip asks Chelsea to cut Rosie’s hair ready for Jill’s 92nd birthday tomorrow. Initially reticent, Chelsea agrees to do it. But when they arrive at Chelsea’s, Rosie won’t get out of the car. Pip thinks it might be to do with Toby moving out tomorrow. Chelsea remembers what it’s like not to have a dad around as a child and manages to persuade Rosie to come in. Pip’s impressed and admits to Chelsea that it’s going to be weird not having Toby to hand. At the Flower and Produce Show, Eddie and Tony wait to hear where they’ve come in the ‘Soiled Pants’ competition for the healthiest soil. Clarrie’s pleased when she gets some firsts for her produce, particularly when she gets a second place for her chutney when Carol’s disqualified! Tony’s disappointed when his Bridge Farm pants don’t win and Eddie and Tony are both surprised when Stella wins for her garden at the Brookfield bungalow. Tony reckons that means Bert Fry’s the winner, after all of his years of gardening there. Eddie’s dismayed because it means that Bert’s still managing to win at the Flower and Produce show. Next year he’s going to make sure Joe wins something. Tony thinks it’s priceless – he knew the rivalry between Bert and Joe was strong, but he didn’t think it would continue into the afterlife. When Tony mentions to Kirsty that it would’ve been good to compare soils among the farms, Kirsty says she’s happy to coordinate a benchmarking scheme between farms. She heads off to present Stella with her winner’s trophy.
