Episode 15
Gardening programme. Jim tackles a range of viewers' tomato torments, while Carole Baxter takes a look to see if the Fastflowers she sowed have lived up to their name.
What a difference a month makes in the Beechgrove Garden. When we last saw the tomatoes, they were just knee high, and now they are trying to escape the greenhouse. There is nothing worse than bottom end rot, and Jim tackles this and a range of other viewers' tomato torments.
Carole Baxter takes a look to see if the flowers she sowed just a few weeks ago have lived up to their name - Fastflowers. A range of hardy annuals sown just a few weeks ago claim to be able to flower in 6, 7 or 8 weeks. Will they have made it to the flowering finishing position in chilly Aberdeen?
Lesley is back in the potager seeing how much she can cram into her tiny, but very productive and pretty, square foot garden.
Life is sometimes hard at the Beechgrove Garden but Jim, Carole and Lesley take things like participating in an in-depth strawberry taste test very seriously. 4 varieties put to the test for yield and, most importantly, for taste.
