0:02:01 > 0:02:05this is where I grew cucumbers.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24that we tried.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28But what we need to do now,
0:02:28 > 0:02:34we should cut back this plant.
0:02:34 > 0:04:09but we'll have more about that and stored like dahlias,
0:04:09 > 0:04:24in the next couple of weeks.
0:04:24 > 0:04:41make it into a new garden, started to recreate this area,
0:04:41 > 0:05:02They then decided that this garden On a lovely autumnal sunny day of grasses and gravel.
0:05:42 > 0:06:45Indeed, they spent a year in limbo, and then moved here? Yes.
0:06:57 > 0:07:34There are then local connections, or is known to thrive locally.
0:07:34 > 0:07:44our next piece from Miss Baxter.
0:07:44 > 0:07:51in the lovely historical town I'm in the Cromarty Firth,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54by fishing,
0:07:54 > 0:08:08Ken and Kristina Dupar Behind this wall,
0:08:17 > 0:08:25and more recently to supply fruit and vegetables
0:08:25 > 0:08:31but also the ships that anchored of Cromarty
0:08:31 > 0:08:34of rack and ruin. It did indeed.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38after the 1950s
0:08:38 > 0:08:40the garden fell into ruin, as well,
0:08:40 > 0:08:45early 1990s and we bought the house,
0:08:45 > 0:08:57So, completely flat? and agricultural grass at one level.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05so I need to find him.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19What's the variety?
0:09:21 > 0:09:26because it was planted in 1904
0:09:26 > 0:09:41Then it was about a whole century That was way back in 1873.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44this was growing all the time,
0:09:48 > 0:09:54because there's an eco-balance,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57there's also a predator.
0:09:57 > 0:11:20So, can I ask you, what's happening here.
0:11:57 > 0:12:22The Discovery here,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26the Ribston Pippin.
0:12:26 > 0:12:36it has such a good taste,
0:12:36 > 0:13:08But I know that in this garden, good year for apples. Yes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:20This is delicious. Quite a tang that have come in.
0:13:41 > 0:13:49We can usually tell how good the Well, we have a lot!
0:13:49 > 0:13:53ends up in our freezer
0:13:53 > 0:13:59and an apple and maple traybake
0:13:59 > 0:14:02with treacle icing.
0:14:02 > 0:14:19I think we should have a toast And even Christmas decorations! Yes!
0:14:34 > 0:14:43We're growing cabbages here, do something about the spacing.
0:14:43 > 0:14:50What I'm saying again, don't let them get too big.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57when they're just that size
0:15:02 > 0:15:05and it's name is 'Christmas'.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09just across the way.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12of the season
0:15:19 > 0:15:34It went down with blight and I'm told on good authority but has produced a wonderful crop,
0:15:34 > 0:15:43I don't profess to be to bring indoors and put into vases.
0:15:43 > 0:15:52Now, this cutting garden rubbed off onto me!
0:15:52 > 0:15:56there's shrubs, roses and climbers,
0:15:56 > 0:16:03there's varieties
0:16:03 > 0:16:07and pick the flowers
0:16:07 > 0:16:14This tall one has all the whites, into colour combinations.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18this is a vase that Lesley gave me,
0:16:18 > 0:16:24and I think she would approve and purples in there
0:16:24 > 0:16:28when you've got one or two flowers -
0:16:31 > 0:16:39And of course, this time of year, are coming to the fore,
0:16:39 > 0:16:47In your garden, there's probably with some lovely red foliage,
0:16:47 > 0:16:55So before the weather changes with orange berries.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59to the productive garden.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01for opportunities.
0:17:01 > 0:17:08well worth including a beautiful species rose,
0:17:10 > 0:17:15their seeds all over the place,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19and sow them where you want them.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24to harvest is certainly Rosa rugosa.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29with enough seedlings
0:17:29 > 0:17:34around the garden,
0:17:34 > 0:17:40well worth collecting, from being ripe.
0:17:40 > 0:17:53about a week before I come back perennials, Digitalis parviflora,
0:17:53 > 0:17:57the seed housing the old flower,
0:17:57 > 0:18:09You can see what happens If you want a bit more control over all the seeds come gushing out.
0:18:09 > 0:18:20and every couple of days hang that somewhere cool but dry
0:18:20 > 0:18:23throw the housing away.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27to break germination.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31any member of the pea family,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41and then germination will follow.
0:18:41 > 0:18:48One is to just pop the seeds into
0:18:48 > 0:18:59put a lid on, and then water will be able and it will erode the seed coat,
0:19:04 > 0:19:11which you have to take off, with a wonderful fleshy coat,
0:19:11 > 0:19:24has a chemical inhibitor
0:19:24 > 0:19:30and then whatever seeds you've got, fish the seeds out, dry them
0:19:30 > 0:19:44Pop them into a paper envelope, is just perfect in spring.
0:19:59 > 0:20:12I just want to have a look at it for winter, or protecting for winter,
0:20:12 > 0:20:23The foliage itself against the chives.
0:20:23 > 0:20:33and if you don't pick that,
0:20:33 > 0:20:44we put them within a pot or some of the plants,
0:20:44 > 0:20:59just to give it the Barrel Greenhouse,
0:20:59 > 0:21:04because we've had a huge problem with
0:21:52 > 0:21:59Some people actually leave them out a lovely little penstemon.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03give me a wonderful display
0:22:10 > 0:22:14quite a lot of stuff now.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17We want to keep the corns.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21until the foliage dies back
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Well, when we cut them back,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28standing on the floor like that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33and we want to save the tubers each one against the other,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38the excess moisture drain out
0:22:38 > 0:22:44a little compost over the top
0:22:44 > 0:22:54that so many of these half-hardy it grieves me to say
0:22:54 > 0:22:57these gorgeous flowers.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00This is what I wanted to show you.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06You can treat them quite roughly.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12but keep them frost-free and of the greenhouse, a bit of light,
0:23:12 > 0:23:18You can see how far I've cut them with the little begonias.
0:23:18 > 0:23:50Look at that even now, They're absolutely divine.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54to the elements,
0:23:54 > 0:24:01Either put them onto gravel, a few things. Firstly, good drainage.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04that you have good drainage.
0:24:04 > 0:24:16And then finally, This is ideal, by the potting shed.
0:24:16 > 0:24:24and I'm sure this will now with bubble-wrap polythene
0:24:37 > 0:24:43even though this plant really cold temperatures,
0:24:44 > 0:24:51So we start off with a cylinder here minus 20.
0:25:03 > 0:25:22That still lets it breath, Then I wrap it with fleece.
0:25:22 > 0:27:16Well, that's the end of the summer But they're coming into a nice place, isn't it?
0:27:16 > 0:27:29But I tell you what, this has been ALL: Cheers. Cheers.
0:27:29 > 0:27:49No sloes on the hedgerow at all no sloes on the hedgerows.
0:27:49 > 0:28:037.5 kilos. What's your secret, then? competition. This is the winner.
0:28:03 > 0:28:12did you? A little bit of bribery!
0:28:12 > 0:28:38We appear on television, a huge effort. Fantastic team.
