It’s all about the hanging baskets of Beechgrove this week from the garden in Aberdeenshire as Carole Baxter sets up these fantastic garden features for a summer of colour.
Carole will also have expert advice on how to get the best crop from this year’s tomato plants, including a look at the possibility of ripening tomatoes outside in a Scottish garden. The team are also busy on their own allotments: in Sunny Joppa George is planting more vegetables and Calum is planning his planting, while Kirsty is planting to hide a new fence.
It’s also time to catch up on this year’s Beechgrowers, gardeners from Orkney to Dumfries, growing in poly tunnels, small gardens and allotments and this week we hear more of their plans for the summer to come.

At Beechrove Brian Cunningham and Carole Baxter carry on the major renovation project that was kicked off when the garden lost one of its feature trees earlier in the year. The hard landscaping has been done in the area where that conifer once was, now it’s time to get planting. It’s No Mow May and Carole and Brian explain why putting the lawn mower aside for a couple of weeks is a great idea. Brian plants out sweet peas and keen gardener Diana Yates introduces the first of her features from her garden in the Borders.

Everyone is learning at Beechgrove this week with Calum Clunie and Carole Baxter. Carole is taking plants out of their comfort zone and finding out what happens if you don’t, or can’t, follow the instructions on the label when you get home from the garden centre.
Calum is growing food for thought as he helps a school in Aberdeenshire get to grips with their community garden. And at Beechgrove, he’s cracking on with the next stage of the renovation of his own plot with the preparation of new raised beds. We find out how a father and daughter team from East Lothian are learning from each other as they garden together, and Calum and Carole have a date with the Calendar Border.

This episode is all about giving nature a helping hand, with a particular focus on gardening that brings wildlife to your growing area. Carole Baxter demonstrates how you can do your bit for the environment, even if you only have room for a container for growing, by using plants such as lavender, borage and teasel. There is also a visit to a garden near Oban that has been designed and planted to encourage a huge range of birds and insects to the plot.
George Anderson plants French and runner beans on his allotment in Joppa, and Calum Clunie is on his patch planting dahlias and sowing peas ready for exhibition time.

Carole Baxter and Brian Cunningham are at Beechgrove to provide some great garden advice. Carole is back in the 6x8 greenhouse to review the season’s growing so far, including an update on the cordon tomatoes. Brian and Carole then continue with the revamp that began with the removal of a conifer from the top of the garden, finishing the job by planting between the branches of the alder banking they created earlier in the series. Meanwhile, at his allotment in Joppa, George Anderson gets stuck into thinning out his seedlings, and there are updates from keen gardeners around the country, with the latest from the Beechgrowers.
