Advice on self-seeding, creating shelter in your garden, growing vegetables in containers and a range of seasonal plum recipes.

Nicola Singleton visits a florist with a difference – at β€œFit Like Flowers” in Aberdeenshire you can handpick the blooms that will make up your bouquet!

Owner Janie Gall shares her passion for gardening and offers advice on using self-seeding to create a sustainable crop year after year. And with a garden that’s exposed to the elements, she explains the different ways to create shelter.

As plums start to ripen our team of chefs will be sharing their recipe ideas for what to do with them. Kirsten Gilmour shows Andrew Thomson a simple poached lime and basil plum dish.

If you have a smaller garden what’s the best way to grow vegetables? Carole Baxter gives Gillian Russell some useful tips for growing veg in containers.
