Episode 6 The Beechgrove Garden

Well, hello, and welcome to Beechgrove.

We're still doing a bit of ducking and diving,

weaving and dodging, because of the weather.

I'm to be planting sweet peas this morning. Aye, that's right.

The fact of the matter is, the ground's been prepared,

it's looking really good, the canes are in position,

the same place as last year. Fine.

Except, the ground is actually like pudding at the moment

because of these heavy showers.

However, we can look at the sweet peas, here they are,

and this whole set were sown, if you recall,

actually on Saint Valentine's Day,

on the 14th of February.

And look at that. Aren't they coming away nicely?

Well, there's a wee job I can be doing on them now, and that is

to thin the stems down to a single, cos we will take a single stem up each cane,

and we get really long stems on the flowers, really good.

And what we're doing now is, if you look at this one here,

that's the original, you see it? That's where I stopped it before.

As a result of that,

we've got one, two, three shoots, there.

Well, we'll take this one out the way, the original.

Take him out the way at the moment. OK?

Then we select the best of these two.

Oh, I don't think there's any argument, is there?

We'll take that little one out.

And take that one out.

I usually leave this job until I've got them planted.

It just means I've got to be extra careful so that I don't damage it.

But there we are, we'll take that one up the stem. Varieties?

I've chosen the varieties this year,

because sweet peas are all about clarity of colour on the flower, and perfume.

Last year we grew some collections,

and I've never been enamoured of them.

OK, the weather wasn't awful great, but they were quite disappointing.

I think it's the leftovers that get put in the collections,

and then they get blown up to be great.

Don't believe it. Go for the real varieties.

The names'll be in the factsheet, and we'll have a look at them again when they're in flower.

Now, then, in the rest of the programme...

This week, well you can see I'm near the Bass Rock.

In fact, it's North Berwick, and it's all about tulip mania.

Even the biscuits are like tulips.

Mmm! Delicious!

And it's back to school for me, today,

to learn a little bit about gardening

from some switched-on youngsters.

Well, Lesley, we're doing a bit of an of an experiment here,

a little bit like Jim two weeks ago.

He was looking at alternative composts.

But he was planting little plantlets,

and we're going back one stage and we are looking at seed composts.

We've got a range here, so we've got five trays in front of us.

-We have.

-So, what's going on?

This end, I want to call this the control,

because this is the popular one that we tend to use. It is based on peat.

It has a nice feel to it, and I suppose we should explain

that the seed composts, as opposed to the multi-purpose,

are much finer. That's important, isn't it?

And very low on fertilisers, as well,

cos that can suppress seed germination, can't it?

Very much so. So, moving on, the next one, again, is quite popular,

and this is a soil-based compost.

-Yeah.

-There is a bit of peat, about 44% of peat in that one.

Looks quite sandy, that one, doesn't it?

Yes, drainage is important as well, isn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Then we've got two peat free.

Kind of strange feel to this one.

Yes, it's a bit twiggy, as well.

You don't want any big bits, cos that can stop the seeds getting through.

-That's based on green waste.

-Yeah.

-What do you think of that one?

This is an interesting one, actually,

cos it's very nice, it's fine,

-it's got bits of charcoal in it.

-Yes.

-It's very expensive.

It is, you know, it comes in very small bags,

that's the other thing we've done, price per litre,

and the control is the cheapest.

-And the last one.

-This feels very nice, actually.

That's based on reclaimed peat. I thought that was incredibly fine,

and I wonder what the drainage will be like.

It is, yeah. So what seeds have you chosen?

OK, very easy seeds,

things that should hopefully germinate quite well.

So, marigolds, and what I'm going to do with each compost

is have three pots and ten seeds in each pot, so that's a repeat.

Marigolds, and also we're doing an edible crop, lettuce, cos that's fairly easy.

It's a good one to do, if you think you've got a problem with soil, if there's been some contamination,

then try putting some lettuce seeds into it, and it'll give you an idea if there's any problems or not.

-That's worth remembering.

-Good indicator.

And once we've sown them, we'll just put a little bit of the compost on top

and we'll come back in a couple of weeks, three weeks, and compare the results.

-You want these spreading.

-It's a bit fiddly. Tweezers are good.

Yes, yes. When you've finished doing your eyebrows.

Well, it's very nice to get a home game for a change,

because my problem corner this week is in the city of Aberdeen itself.

I'm going to Cornhill School, who've been gardening for a few years.

They're making progress. I'm going to give them a wee nudge.

Well, here we are with the primary school pupils from class six and seven,

and they're all going to be the gardeners of the future. Is that right?

-ALL: Yes!

-Yes. What's your favourite bit?

-The vegetable garden.

-Really? Which bit do you like best?

-The roundabout over there.

-OK. And you?

-Vegetable.

-Vegetable.

Well, almost equally split.

Do you know plenty about the vegetables? You've been growing them before?

-ALL: Yes.

-OK, so you're going to tell me how to do it?

Well, you'll tell me how YOU do it.

So here we are, guys, on the vegetable plot.

And do you notice I've put strings down, so I'll put it into compartments.

What we're going to put in here are

one of the favourite vegetables in Scotland - the potato.

-Do you like potatoes?

-Yes.

-Do you like potatoes?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

What other crops do you eat the roots?

-Beetroot.

-Beetroot. Yes, that's a root.

-Radish.

And what's your favourite?

-You told me, what's your favourite?

-Carrots.

-Carrots!

So in other words, this bit of plot here, from there to there,

is going to be for root crops. That's what we call them.

The next one, do you like cabbage?

-No.

-Do you like cabbage?

-No.

-Yuk!

-Do you like cauliflower?

-Ugh!

-I'm sure you love Brussels sprouts?

-No!

-No!

We call these leaf vegetables, and they all belong to the same family.

So we've put them into the next group.

And then the final third is for everything else.

Now, what do I mean by everything else?

-Do you like lettuces?

-Yeah.

-No.

-Not really.

-Peas?

-Yeah.

-Beans?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-What is something that goes round?

-Rotation.

That's the name of the game!

Different groups in different bits of the garden,

and then the following year, you change them around,

so that bit of ground's not always growing the same thing.

When you pull it like that, often give it a wee skoosh that way.

Because it means it levels it up.

If you keep pulling it this way, you'll just get a hollow,

and you'll finish with it all up at this end.

Well, it's playtime, so it's a chance to talk to Elaine Forbes,

teacher in charge of the school garden for quite a long time, I believe.

-Yes, uh-huh, have been.

-So how long have they been doing this?

Must be about five, six years, anyway, been really into it.

What motivated you to phone us, though?

The entrance to the garden is so untidy,

and no matter how much work the committee and the club did on it,

it was just, because of all the trees round about here, the leaves were falling down,

there was hawthorn all the way through it, it was just so prickly.

We'd to go on hands and knees to get it tidied up,

-and we didn't know what to do.

-Yeah.

-And so much ground weed, as well.

So, we'll concentrate a wee bit on that.

-Of course, the emphasis then will be on butterflies and bees, encouraging the wildlife.

-Yes, yes.

And emphasise the composting.

Yeah, that's good, cos we've got Waste Aware coming,

because we want to find a way to compost the food waste from the dining hall,

-because there's quite a lot.

-That's a more sophisticated technique, isn't it?

-Yes, uh-huh.

-But anyway, we'd better get started again.

-OK.

Well, now, we've got some shrubs and plants all laid out in this bit

that was causing so much trouble, cos you guys made a super job of clearing it.

But one thing, a wee tip I would give you,

is that when you start to actually dig a hole in this ground that's very hard,

this is the bit of kit you should use to slacken it, you see?

Because the prongs will go in much easier than the spade. Right.

Dig the hole. Gaun yersel', Jimmy!

This ground has had lots of trees and bushes and things in it,

and the chances are that it has become poor.

So, we use some compost, like this.

And we pop that in there, and we mix it with the soil.

See the nice roots, you don't want to spoil them.

Very gently stand it in the middle of the hole.

-OK.

-Now we've got...

-Ugh!

-Cool!

-Smell.

Smells like hamster food.

It's bones.

Look! Now then, with the spade, dear boy,

turn it the wrong way round.

-That way?

-Yes.

And just start to put the soil in.

Just put the soil in, all the way round.

Now then, I want each one of you to go to a plant that's standing,

-and stand by that plant in its pot.

-I like this one!

-This is my one!

-Choose one. Right. Mark the spot where it is.

Stand the plant to one side, and then start to dig the hole.

Will that be deep enough?

I would try and make it a bit bigger, so it's nice and loose for the roots to grow into.

About the size of a tin of beans.

I suppose you all know what I'm talking about

-when I'm saying that we should compost our waste, our garden waste.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

All the vegetable material, like banana skins,

like old cabbage leaf.

-What are going to do with that when it all rots down?

-Use it as compost.

-Use it as compost.

-Yes, but where do you put it?

-On the ground.

-On soil.

-Into the ground.

-So it's like a big circle.

You've hit the nail on the head. Absolutely dead right.

It finishes in the ground and then it grows a new crop.

The leaves fall off the trees in the autumn,

they rot into the ground, the worms pull them into the ground.

That's the natural cycle. When we're gardening, we speed it up.

Right, and then it, like, just turns into normal soil.

Yes, absolutely right.

So what we've done is, we've put in some vegetable waste, there.

We can also put in shredded paper.

It works, I've been doing it at home for several years,

because that originally came from organic things.

-What do most gardeners have most of?

-PUPILS: Grass.

Grass clippings. We've got too much of this.

You keep it to one side in a wee pile,

and when you're going to put in some of that coarser stuff,

you add a bit of this, because this is always sappy and moist, and it helps it all to break down.

The troops reckoned that the border at the entrance to the garden

needed jazzing up with an addition of some plants to attract wildlife,

birds, bees, butterflies.

So, amongst other things, we planted forsythia, buddleia and scabious.

Well, that's the job about done, isn't it?

-And we're back to where we started earlier today.

-Yeah.

And it's looking good, and we've got the tatties lined out

there for planting, at that sort of spacing.

If you look at the canes at that side, they're closer together,

because the beetroot and carrots are all part of the same group called...

-Roots!

-Roots! They're all in this plot together.

And then hiding under here,

the two vegetables that you really love,

-cabbage and cauliflower.

-Eugh!

Well, that's it, there's not a lot more to say.

-Well done, everybody. OK?

-Thank you!

-Thank you!

Well, here we are back on the decking,

and this is a great place for growing your vegetables, isn't it?

-A small space.

-It is, but everything is in containers.

There's an advantage to that,

because you don't get so many soil pests and diseases and things.

And it's amazing how much stuff you can actually grow.

You've got a new leaflet here, which I think is quite interesting.

Yeah, this is called The Beginner's Collection,

and it actually suggests crops and varieties which are really reliable,

so if it's the first time that you've grown vegetables,

you're going to probably have good success.

A lot of the ones they are suggesting are the speedy vegetables.

Yes, and I think that depends on the weather,

because some of these say like two or three weeks.

I think, if it stays like this, it's going to take longer.

Oh, you are a cynic! We're putting it in the veg table here.

-Yes.

-And it's deeper in the middle.

-That's veg table, not a vegetable!

Same thing, isn't it?

So I've got radish, and I'm sowing this near...the end,

because it's not so, er...deep at this side, is it?

And I'm going to pop carrots in the middle two rows.

This is Ideal that I'm putting in just now.

And also, we've got the cascade planters here.

Now, I like to plant carrots high up.

It's all this business of the carrot root fly zooming in.

Yes, but we did them last year in that tier planter,

and we didn't get any carrot root fly, did we?

-We didn't, in any of them.

-But we got some interesting results.

Well, I thought the bottom ones would be most susceptible.

They were fine, but interestingly the ones in the top

were really huge, gorgeous, long-root carrots.

In the middle, they were sort of medium size,

and there were titchy ones in the bottom.

-Yeah, I think it's all to do with heat.

-Possibly.

-Higher up was warmer.

-We're repeating it this year.

We're going to use St Valery carrot in there.

I want to try this in the other cascade planter,

just putting a lettuce crop in or something.

-And see if we get bigger lettuce?

-Big luscious lettuces at the top,

-mediumy lettuces and then titchy ones.

-We'll see what happens.

I looked through the catalogues, and you can specifically choose things

that are good for, you know, small containers.

Sort of compact dwarf varieties.

Here we've got a pea called Tom Thumb,

so I mean the name is saying that it's quite small.

-A new broad bean, Robin Hood.

-Sounds very green.

-Yeah!

And we've grown Hestia before, that's a runner bean,

-but I wouldn't plant that out now.

-It's a bit cold and chilly for it.

That has to go back into the greenhouse.

And a lovely rocket here, Sweet Oakleaf. I think that's going to be attractive.

That's really pretty, actually.

It has that spicy flavour that you can put with lettuce leaves.

-So those, I think, we can plant out, but the beans have to go back.

-Yep.

We're back to the tatties again, your lovely planter from last year.

This is how it's going to end up at the end of the season,

cos it's a stacking system, so as they grow up,

we put the next level on and put the compost in.

OK, can I remind you, last year, what was it? Was it Charlotte?

-I put three Charlotte in here...

-And ended up with one tattie.

Yes. Now, that's really very strange, isn't it?

I don't know how that happened.

I'm going to put a main crop in here this year,

which has longer to grow, and we'll get more potatoes.

-Well, I hope so!

-Yes, and I think it is a better idea,

because the main crop is a longer season,

and then you can build up the stack,

and hopefully you're going to get a good crop.

-Right, I'm going to stick to the traditional planter.

-OK.

We will put three tatties into this pot.

-I've got three new second earlies, starting off with Rudolph.

-Red noses.

-And you can see there is a pink tinge to it.

-Yes.

Bonnie, which is a nice name, and then is that one Bluebell, I think?

-Yes, it is.

-The eyes are actually blue.

And finally there's a new first early,

and that one is called Vales Emerald, so they've all got nice names.

As I say, you know, you pop three in there,

-we'll have to put a bit of compost on the top.

-And we'll see how tasty they are.

More carrots.

Because, you know, if people really haven't got much of a garden,

a grow bag and you can grow these varieties of carrots

which are just round or globe-shaped.

They're ideal for grow bags or real shallow files.

So there's names like Atlas and Paris Market.

-You could just do this on a balcony.

-You could.

So we're going to get four varieties, two in that one,

two in that bag, and I reckon we could probably get three rows.

And then finishing off with something ornamental,

-hardy amaryllis.

-Oh, really? Hardy in Hampshire?

Yes, it might be like the garvinias. But anyway, I've got three there.

White flowers, yellow flowers and red flowers.

They should flower in the summer.

Personally, I think after they've flowered,

when it starts getting cold, I think they'll have to pop that in the greenhouse.

You tend to associate amaryllis with Christmas.

I know. It's going to be summer amaryllis.

Well, let's see what happens.

Well, it's asparagus planting time again.

We did have a crop in here, which didn't do particularly well,

so the whole tunnel has been re-soiled,

fresh soil from the garden, plus a lot of our own compost

into it as well.

It's in fairly good nick, it's still a wee bit damp.

Now, on that side, we've already planted crowns

of the variety Ariane.

This side we're going to look at three new ones that we don't know.

There's Backlim, Gijnlim and Darlise.

And of course time will tell how successful they are.

We buy the asparagus in as two-year-old crowns,

and the planting of them is a wee bit ticklish.

You've got to take your time and do it slowly and do it properly,

because if you do, just look at that crop in there.

These are from Miss Baxter's polytunnel,

and she's been picking quality asparagus spears like that

since the end of March.

Brought on of course by the wonderful weather in March.

They've slowed down a bit now, but isn't that magic?

And that asparagus bed is 11 years old.

So it pays to do the job properly right at the start.

The ground has plenty organic matter,

and what we have to do is carefully tease out these roots

and set the whole thing in the top of a mound,

so that the roots can go down into the hollow in between.

And then get them covered over and gradually top the whole thing up,

hence we've got soil at either side

and we can gradually, as it were, top dress as the season goes on.

Now, people talk about male and female plants of asparagus.

Well, I think most of the modern clones are in fact male plants.

If you grow a crop and you find that when the ferns start to come up,

you've got them with berries on, that means you got female and male,

so you finish up getting seedlings coming up, and you get a whole mixter-maxter,

which is not very good, so you're better actually to pull them out.

Don't think that'll happen with these clones,

-because I think these are what are called super males.

-LAUGHTER

North Berwick is a lovely coastal town in Scotland,

and they're actually one of the finalists for Britain In Bloom

this year. Now, Stan de Prato is heavily involved

with that competition, and I'm just about to meet him.

What we've done this year, which is new,

is we've got a tulip festival,

and we've got examples of all the 15 types of tulips in planters

-all round the town.

-I think it's a great idea,

and probably people don't realise there are so many divisions

of tulips, so many types.

-So, what are we looking at here?

-This is quite a subdued one.

It's a viridiflora, which is probably best described as a green-on-green.

I rather like it, I think it's quite subtle

and blends in well with the griselinia.

And the viola brightens it up, doesn't it?

This is peach blossom, a classic double early bedding tulip,

and it goes very well with the blue viola.

Another combination you might like to try would be with blue myositis.

Oh, that's a nice idea, because that's quite a delicate little flower, isn't it?

And you know, the height, I suppose, would go quite well.

Yes, they're quite weather-resistant.

Now, this one here is not quite in bloom,

which tells us that the tulips can flower

for quite a big period of time.

Certainly our first ones were flowering in late March

and the last ones, the parrots, which aren't quite out yet,

will probably be flowering into May.

This one is quite a blousy one, it's a peony flower tulip

called Cardinal de Nice,

probably best described when it's full out

as a raspberry ripple ice cream.

Yeah, you can see there, can't you, loads and loads of petals,

and very sort of blowsy.

While we're here, one more tulip, well, two, isn't it?

Two more tulips, a slight mistake here.

The basic tulip in this bed is Kaiser's Crown.

You'll see within it, we have rather unattractive rogue,

and this is a rembrandt or feather tulip, and this rather looks like the tulips

which people bankrupted themselves some hundreds of years ago.

Back in the 1600s, I think it was.

And they kind of paid, what, for one bulb, about the price of a house?

Yes, and the really silly thing was that the bulbs they were buying

were infected by a virus, which caused the pattern,

but these modern ones have been bred to be like that,

so they're more vigorous and considerably less expensive.

They're rather nice to look at, aren't they?

Stan, you've given me a leaflet all about the tulip festival,

so I'm going to go and find Rosie now.

She actually wrote this leaflet, didn't she? Find her in the town.

Well, here we are, Carole,

in front of the police station in North Berwick.

You'll see some more of our planters here.

-We've got about 80 around the town.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Now, these are lovely and bright, and I like how you've labelled them,

-so people know what they are.

-That's right.

So this is Red Riding Hood, a lovely red flower,

-but also the striped foliage.

-Exactly.

-It gives us a bit of extra colour, doesn't it?

-Mmm. It's really good.

These smart green planters have just been repainted for the summer.

Well, they're looking good. They're looking really good.

-And this one is Black Swan, I think, isn't it?

-That's right, yes.

Now, that's meant to be a late-flowering one,

-but do you think they're a bit earlier this year?

-Definitely.

The weather's been so funny, hasn't it?

It has. It's been very strange.

And then a bright bit of yellow.

The lily-type ones, which we've not seen yet.

It just shows you the variety and the shape

you can get in the tulips, doesn't it?

These have got a nice point to them, a nice shape.

And the variety is West Point.

Right, where are we going next?

Round to the war memorial to see more tulips.

So, here we are looking at another three varieties

of the lily-flowered tulip.

We've got the tall one, which is lilac, Lilac Time.

We've got the little China Pink, and the nice,

zingy orange one which is Ballerina.

-Really bright, that one, isn't it?

-Yes.

I like the combination in the central bed there

-with the wallflowers.

-Quite zingy and eye-catching, isn't it?

You get the perfume from the wallflower too, don't you?

Now, who did the planting here?

Well, this is all down to our local team,

East Lothian Council gardeners.

It might not have actually happened this winter

due to the council cutbacks which we've been experiencing,

of course, all over the country,

but North Berwick in Bloom came up with some pansies

and the tulip bulbs, so we've got a nice show for everyone after all.

So, very much a team effort here.

Collaboration's definitely the way to go.

OK, well, my next stop is to see Stan again

and look at a very different project.

Now, Stan, part of the remit now

-is to encourage wildlife, isn't it, for Britain in Bloom?

-Yes.

There's a lot of concern now about the decline

in native wild flowers and the knock-on effect on insects,

so what our young friends are doing here is sowing some seed

of cornfield annuals, things like poppies, corncockle.

And these should give a nice show later in the year,

which will be attractive to people, but more importantly,

will be of benefit to things like bees and butterflies.

-And it's a perfect time to be sowing your hardy annuals.

-Indeed, yes.

And it's good to see that you're involving younger people.

It's essential in Britain in Bloom now to show community involvement,

particularly young people.

Well, Stan, we're looking at a very different type of planting here -

-permanent planting.

-Yes.

I think if you want tulips to be perennial,

it's worth looking at the small species

and some of the forms derived from them.

They also have the advantage, some would say,

that they're smaller and perhaps a bit more graceful

than some of the big bedding types we've been looking at.

And they will naturally multiply?

Yes. If you look at this first compartment we're coming to here,

this is a form of Tulipa humilis named Little Beauty.

It is a real little gem.

What about this one?

This is a form of Tulipa clusiana.

This occurs in different colour forms in large areas of Asia.

This one here, we have a red and yellow,

but you also get a pink and white.

Same plant, but just a slightly different colour scheme.

Nice foliage as well. That's a sort of bluey-green, isn't it?

Now, what about the number of tulips that you planted for this festival?

We put in just over 2,000 bulbs.

That's a lot of planting!

Compared to the total number of bulbs round the town, it probably isn't.

Between the council, North Berwick in Bloom and the Rotary Club,

there are probably about a million spring bulbs

around North Berwick nowadays.

Well, as you've shown me here, it looks absolutely superb,

-so thank you very much.

-Thank you for coming.

Well, this is your annual warning -

don't cut the leaves off the daffodils.

Knock the heads off,

and then once you've done,

a handful of bone meal,

and just sprinkle it down in amongst there

and give them a feed,

and they'll make lovely flowers for next year.

Well, I would just like to highlight our layered bowl pots.

Just to remind you, these were planted up in the autumn.

We had this one in a shady corner

and this one was in the open in a sunny situation.

Now, the shady one started flowering first,

and that gave the first flowers in February,

whereas the sunny one was a little bit later,

but a few weeks ago, they both caught one another up,

and that is still the case.

What we now have, though, is a great success story,

because everything has flowered,

and at the moment we've got the hyacinth Woodstock,

which looks beautiful,

wonderful scent, and we've still got those tulips to come.

This variety is a double late called Angelique.

And I reckon by the time this display is over,

we will have had three months of flowering.

Now that really is a success story.

Well, with all this wet weather, the weeds are still growing apace.

I've had quite a struggle to find any weeds here at Beechgrove,

I have to say. The gardeners have got it looking beautiful.

But I have just found a couple.

This first one is rockcress, and it's an annual weed,

so it's got very little root system.

You can just hoe these away.

The other sort of weed is a perennial weed,

and here is a dandelion,

and the point with these is that they have very long roots,

and they can come back year after year from those roots,

so I'm going to have to dig this out completely.

Well, I reckon that that pond has definitely benefited

-from the early warm weather.

-It looks lovely.

I think the marsh marigolds in particular,

and the reflection, looks beautiful, doesn't it?

Looks really bonny. It does indeed.

What are you doing, Lesley?

Well, I'm going to plant this bed really inexpensively this year.

I'm going to have a blaze of colour, doing it all with nasturtiums.

And there are so many different colours in this,

and they're really easy to plant

because they're nice, big, chunky seeds,

so children can do it as well.

Some new varieties - things like Moonlight there,

-primrose yellow.

-That's nice.

Described as a trailer, but I think it'll just as happily scramble up.

So we've got three different obelisks in here,

-so we'll get some height as well.

-Mmm.

I like the one with the variegated foliage as well.

Alaska, I think that one is. It is a pretty one.

You've got that dark red one. Yeah, Empress of India is beautiful.

Bright red. Of course, you can put them into salads and things as well.

Yes, "nippy biscuits", we called them as children.

And you're going to be responsible for evermore

when they start coming up everywhere.

I don't think that's a problem.

-They're really pretty and good for bees.

-What about sowing?

-Will you sow them in rows, different angles?

-Yes.

I've done the shapes just now with sand

to make sure there's enough space to get them all in.

I'll do them in row so I can spot any weeds coming between them.

Well, anyway, if you'd like

more information about this week's programme,

it's all in the factsheet, and that includes all those plant names.

And the easiest way to access that, of course, is online,

and don't forget as well, new for us this year,

you can find out about us on Facebook and Twitter.

Now, next week I'm going to start having a real overhaul

in the Garden for Life, which is now 16 years old.

Well, well. It's going to be another busy programme.

I'm going to pray every day from now on

that we can appear in shirtsleeves.

-That'd be nice!

-Wouldn't it?

Till next time.

-Bye-bye.

-Goodbye.
