Jim is in the polytunnel checking on the bush tomatoes and Lesley is back in the cutting garden to see if her black and white colour-themed bed has made it through the wet weather.

Jim is in the polytunnel checking on the bush tomatoes. Thye are usually grown outside in other areas but Jim is glad that he decided they should be undercover tomatoes this year after the lack of summer.

Meanwhile, Lesley is back in the cutting garden to see if her black and white colour-themed bed has made it through the wet weather. She will create a seasonal flower arrangement from what is there.

Carole and Lesley are also in the tiny but hugely productive decking garden, where everything is grown on small scale and in containers. They are harvesting three new varieties of potatoes with the ultimate test, the taste test.

Carolyn visits the garden of Caroline Doig in Kirkcaldy, who needs a bit of help with her garden. Caroline has cleared a section of her garden and was hoping to create a seaside theme but the clearing is as far as she has managed. Carolyn creates a seaside bed with boulders, pebbles, driftwood, grasses and alpines... ah you can almost smell the seaside.

Carolyn also visits the natural and wild garden of Laura Blackwood in Hawick. Laura has written and beautifully illustrated a book called 'The Celebration of Nature' and much of the inspiration for her book came from her own lovely garden. Carolyn matches the garden to the book.
