In the Beechgrove Garden, Jim and George are in the crowded Fruit house. When they can get in, bees are buzzing around in the house trying to pollinate the fruit but Jim and George show how to do that by human hand and help nature along to produce a heavy yield of delicious cherries and peaches.

Carole and Lesley take a look at some of their trials from last year. We tried to keep plants outside that we would have some years back treated as tender, and taken in BUT they said on the tin that they are hardy. We'll leave you to guess what happened but a clue is that it's a good thing that we did belt and braces with cuttings.

Do you have a pear or apple, square or hour glass shape? Not women's bodies but gardens. In Lesley's new design masterclass, she has chosen four classic shapes of gardens and shares her off the peg design solutions to the typical garden shape. Lesley will 'clothe' a garden each week and inspire us to use what we have rather than try and change and if you have got it flaunt it. This week, short and fat.

It's alpine time and George is off to his old stomping ground at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh to take a tour around the fascinating world of the colourful cheerful alpine. Among the alpine goodies at RBGE is an alpine wall filled with unusual trailing varieties.
