"A celebration of people who are growing their own, from vegetables to flowers, across the UK.
At Longmeadow, Monty shares tips and advice on how to get the most out of the bargain plants available at this time of year. He also looks at how some of the tropical plants have coped with 2023's weather.
Joe visits an extraordinary community food growing project in Bristol. There's a grower who pushes the boundaries and shares his innovative ideas on how to create a productive allotment all year round.
Rachel meets a remarkable cut flower grower who started her own flower farm with no prior knowledge of growing at all. And on the west coast of Scotland, a couple have restored a run-down walled garden into a beautiful and bountiful plot despite the remote and harsh terrain.
There's also a couple who have creatively restored a walled garden filled with flowers, fruit and vegetables."
So did my OH , which is a rare occurrence. He's knackered by the end of the week. Strange as it was very vegetable oriented and we don't grow veg. Some beautiful scenery, l loved the couple in Scotland, particularly his stylish wearing of a deerstalker hat I also have a strong urge to get hold of my MIL's peace lily and divide it. It's in dire need of help.
" Frances Tophill is in her very first garden for a summer catch-up and an update on her progress since moving in. She’s excited to share a brand new structure designed especially for her compact plot, and there’s trouble afoot at her allotment when she visits for a tidy-up.
Adam Frost meets a kindred spirit who explains how gardening saved his life. In the Cotswolds, Advolly Richmond showcases one of the finest examples of gardening in the arts and crafts era.
There's a visit to Mr Pelargonium (not his real name!), an oracle on this colourful and versatile plant, and to a man who has revolutionised his back garden with a perennial meadow.
Plus more of the films that have been sent in by viewers."
I enjoyed tonight's programme much better than last weeks. We were looking forward to seeing Francis Tophill's new garden and it is proving to be most interesting. A bit too " grassy" for my taste at this stage but loved her new little greenhouse. I just wish she would talk a little slower as I miss bits that she says as she is such a fast talker for my poor old ears☺️ Looking forward to future updates on how she is getting on.
