Episode 19

Brian Cunningham’s beginner’s guide to vegetable growing started in April, and now it’s time to reap the rewards as he starts to harvest from the veg plot at Beechgrove Garden.

Calum Clunie sows for winter crops as he starts the sowing cycle again on his family-sized plo. He also refreshes the containers he started in April as a demonstration of just what you can do if space is limited and you only room for some pots.

Brian and Calum tackle Beechgrove’s hedges after checking carefully for bird nest activity, and Brian advises on caring for common houseplants. There is a visit to St Andrews Botanic Garden, along with the week’s handy hints.
