Episode 25
Jim is lifting begonia tubers and preparing them for storage for the winter, and he and George also review George's trials of grasses and meadow wildflowers.
In the penultimate Beechgrove for this year, Jim is lifting begonia tubers and preparing them for storage for the winter. He and George also review George's trials of grasses and meadow wildflower mixes to see what's still flowering at the end of the season.
Lesley plants up containers for autumn colour that will have immediate impact and help take away the blues of the poor summer. Carole and George reach the culmination of their beans and corn experiment. Carole grew sweetcorn and french beans in Beechgrove while George did the same (well almost the same - he did cheat a bit) in his allotment in Edinburgh to see if 120 miles makes a difference. This week we will see the results.
Jim is with Nicola Hughes in Linlithgow. Jim helped with Nicola's garden in 2011 and he returns to see how successful his problem-solving has been.
Jim also revisits the community garden at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. This was a massive project (a 15-acre site) and Jim returns to see how well they have fared two years on.
