Down to earth advice on growing your own fruit and vegetables with allotment gardener Terry Walton, from his plot in the Rhondda Valley.

Down to earth advice on growing your own fruit and vegetables with allotment gardener Terry Walton, from his plot in the Rhondda Valley.
The leaves are starting to turn yellow as autumn slowly creeps in. Terry advises which pods to select to harvest the best seeds for next year's runner bean plants.
It's time to dig up the sweet peas and put the plants to use on the compost heap.
The pumpkin plant is starting to take over half of Terry's plot and is growing far beyond the compost heap where its roots lie. He suggests a milk mixture to keep powdery mildew at bay and keep the plant healthy.

If you have a question about your own crops e mail AskTerry@bbc.co.uk and attach a photo if that helps.
