8pm tonight. " Frances Tophill is in her new garden, assessing the tomatoes in her upcycled greenhouse. She also has work to do on her allotment, with perennial vegetables to rejig, before heading to a specialist nursery to buy plants for her revamped pond.
Rekha Mistry shares the successes and failures in her new vegetable garden in the Peak District.
Errol Reuben Fernandes heads to a contemporary garden in the centre of Wakefield that’s bringing a community together.
In London, there's a plantaholic who has turned his backyard into a botanic garden, and in Devon, a head gardener looks for different ways of coping with the changing climate.
Plus more of the films that have been sent in by viewers."
I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's programme. First time in a long time, It was really interesting and loved the segment with Rekha Mistry and the progress she has made in her new garden in The speak District. Her onions were superb. Also FT garden is coming along but still much to do...particularly the lawn.
I enjoyed the programme last night, particularly the harvesting of apples. That was certainly a steep slope to be growing apple trees on. Good to see FT using a trug.
did anyone else think Monty crammed far too many iris bulbs in his pots? I was gobsmacked!
A bulb course at Dixter said to plant bulbs touching and in layers and that's how I do it now, adding pretty much as many bulbs as I can get into a pot. The pic is from the course.
I have to admit that I have only just watched the episode from last week, starting with MD talking about the storage of apples.
I approve, mainly, but I disagree with the way in which he suggests storing stewed apple. In the freezer is costly, and definitely NOT environmentally friendly. I refuse to pay for the electricity, especially given the cost. I store my stewed apple in jars - Kilner ones are great, but old jam jars work just as well. Yes, I have to find a place to store the jars, but I don't need to have an extra freezer, using up the electricity. I also don't have to wait for the apple to defrost. It's available immediately.
I'm surprised that MD hasn't moved in that direction.
I can’t see GW with FT working, her garden has so little to do/show. They would have to change the whole show and have her moving all over the place, which adds hugely to production costs.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
