Winter is over, spring is here, and the garden is slowly coming back to life - and with it comes a new series of Beechgrove Garden. All through the spring, summer and into autumn, the Beechgrove team will be bringing their expert advice and insight into what you should be doing in your garden each week. Whether you have a window box, a balcony or borders and raised beds, there will be something useful for you to learn about or get done.

Gardening to give nature in your garden a helping hand is the focus of this episode.

The weather continues to warm, the days get longer and so the gardening season picks up pace with Lizzie Schofield and Calum Clunie attending to the jobs at Beechgrove Garden. Calum plants out a bed to produce cut flowers all summer long and Lizzie continues the work on revamping the herb garden. There are ideas on what to plant in a shaded area of woodland and the broad beans sown last month are planted out. There’s a visit to a thriving community garden in the Drumchapel area of Glasgow, plus the week’s round up of handy hints.

There has been so much rain this spring that many plots feel like a bog. Thankfully, Kirsty and Lizzie are in Beechgrove’s own bog garden looking at plants that are specifically suited to extremely wet conditions. In a drier, warmer area of the garden, the pair are planting pumpkins and squash in the polytunnel.

There is more spring colour to enjoy in the garden, and Carole Baxter is looking at bedding plants, which are safe to plant out now that the risk of frost has hopefully gone.

The flurry of planting and sowing in spring is over, and it’s time to check in and enjoy the results of all that hard work at Beechgrove Garden.

It's the taste of summer, so Beechgrove Garden’s own strawberry crop gets some attention - and maybe some picking - from George Anderson and Carole Baxter. The pair also work in the Garden for Wildlife, a plot specifically designed and planted with species that are beneficial to the local ecosystem, with George boosting the garden’s collection of meconopsis.

The secateurs are out at Beechgrove Garden as Kirsty Wilson and Calum Clunie set about trimming, pruning and cutting to encourage new growth for the rest of the season and beyond.

It’s time for summer fruit salads as George Anderson and Lizzie Schofield start cherry-picking the best of the summer produce. There was a cold and wet spring, followed by a cool start to the summer, so how has that affected this year’s produce?

A steady supply of tatties from Beechgrove Garden starts as Carole Baxter and Brian Cunningham dig into the first crop that were planted in containers earlier in the year. Planting continued at regular intervals through the spring, which means there will be a succession of potato production in the coming weeks.

Bamboo is a very popular plant and a great way to create structure in gardens or to provide a screen from neighbours. However, it can be a huge problem if it starts to spread. Lizzie Schofield and Ruth Vichos take a look at the different varieties available, how to plant it and, most importantly, how to stop it taking over. The pair also demonstrate just what to do with a drumstick primula in a garden’s plant collection, and have a timely chat about a very common garden pest - slugs.

Ponds, large or small, are a great way to encourage wildlife to your garden, and Kirsty Wilson and Calum Clunie get their waders on to suggest some great plants to add to your pond if you have one, or to introduce if you are creating a new water feature.

It’s the time of year when all the hard work earlier in the season begins to pay off. Carole Baxter is in one of Beechgrove Garden’s greenhouses to record how this year’s crop of tomatoes is measuring up. Along with Ruth Vichos, another crop that will be checked is this year’s planting of blight-resistant potatoes. It has been a damp summer, which can mean ideal conditions for the disease that can affect the potato plants - but will the varieties that are meant to be blight-resistant pay off this year?

It’s time to enjoy the best of late summer at Beechgrove as Carole Baxter assesses how the dahlias have delivered this year.

There is more garden colour from Kirsty Wilson as she looks ahead to the autumn and plants some late-flowering perennials. Kirsty also checks in on her attempt to grow melons in the polytunnel and takes a look at the pumpkins in the hugel bed, a method of growing based on planting on a mound of decomposing timber and other organic material.
