As the days get longer, so does the to-do list at Beechgrove. Kirsty Wilson and Calum Clunie are busy tackling spring jobs, including a revamp of the roses in the picket fence garden. One of the biggest jobs carried out recently at Beechgrove was moving the large viburnum to the bottom of the plot. The move took five people and a lot of heavy lifting, but unfortunately, the viburnum didn’t do so well in its new location until some radical pruning was carried out. Kirsty and Calum check on its spring progress. Also in this episode, the pair tackle creating a hugel bed, a sustainable method of growing that is based around planting on a specially created mound of composting materials. If your gardening is on a smaller scale, Lizzie Schofield is in Buckie creating a perfect patio garden. Plus the usual handy hints for the week ahead and a great garden visit.
