Series following Heather Dewar over a year of planting, weeding and cooking. Against the backdrop of the stunning Islay countryside, she shares her gardening knowledge and favourite recipes.

In this programme: spring and summer produce. Until Heather's garden bears 'fruit', she makes full use of the produce growing wild around her. Using the fresh, young crop of nettles, she makes a delicious soup, rich in flavour and nutrients. This soup was traditionally seen as a good way of cleaning out the blood after a long winter during which few green vegetables would have been eaten.

By summertime her garden has sprung into life and she has an array of produce available to her. She serves freshly caught seatrout with mangetout, peas and new potatoes. With her home-grown raspberries she makes a sorbet, flavoured with mint and red wine.
