Down to earth advice on growing your own fruit and vegetables with allotment gardener Terry Walton, from his plot in the Rhondda Valley.
Terry reports on the failure of his carrot crops, but remains determined to start again with a plan for an autumn harvest.
The strawberries are ripening well just in time for Wimbledon. Terry has advice on the best treatment for getting the best out of your strawberry crop in their short season. He also takes a look at the loganberries growing at the allotment and suggests the best way to keep them under control.
Back in the greenhouse it's time to take the tips off the tomatoes to encourage them to throw their energy into the fruit.
