Grow your own at Home

Advice on growing fruit and vegetables, with Alan sharing the tips and tricks he uses on his own plot, with his Love Your Garden team members Katie Rushworth, Frances Tophill and David Domoney joining in from their homes. From seriously stylish ways to grow veg anywhere to practical tips on what to plant and where, they show how to get gardens bursting with fruit, salad, herbs and vegetables to supply the table for the year ahead and beyond.

There are barrow-loads of tips for the enthusiastic but inexperienced gardener who fancies growing some fruit and veg: how to make a runner bean wigwam; and ways to keep pigeons off your brassicas and slugs off your strawberries. But the key message is that you don’t need a lot of space – a balcony or even a doorstep is enough.

Gardening Maestro Alan Titchmarsh shares the delights of growing your own fruit and veg at home. Filmed by his wife, Alison - he tackles his own veg plot.

Alan harvests the first of the radishes he planted as seeds in the first edition of the programme and steps inside his greenhouse to grow an exotic treat or two.

In this penultimate episode - filmed by his wife Alison - Alan creates a cutting garden in the veg plot, with flowers to pick for the home from summer until the first frost.

Alan and the team reveal their individual garden makeovers, and Alan adds a final border of bee-attracting flowers to keep his vegetable patch pollinated. Frances Tophill's garden transformation is revealed - from tiny bare backyard to cosy kitchen-garden sanctuary.
