Beechgrove Garden (1970) : 45x16

Last year, the Beechgrove team scavenged the local charity shops and tracked down a range of containers that were turned into fantastic planters. These upcycled boxes and hampers have been used again this year, and a range of salad crops were sown. In this episode, Carole and Kirsty harvest what has grown and also thin out the bamboo next to the pond, before planting up a hanging basket full of herbs. Calum Clunie provides an update from his allotment in Leven, and George Anderson teaches more Back to Basics, which this week features a different way to propagate new plants. And father and daughter gardeners Erin and Joe Armstrong work and garden together at their plot in East Lothian.
