The Big Allotment Challenge

This first show sees the nine pairs of talented gardeners challenged to grow and present three matching radishes, seven perfect spikes of sweet peas and face a timed surprise floral arrangement challenge. Finally, for a place in the next round, they have to make a fruit jam and fruit curd using ingredients from their allotment. Which pair will impress the experts and be awarded Best In Show and which pair will be the first to leave The Big Allotment Challenge?

This time, their runner beans and roses are scrutinized on the show bench by former royal gardener Jim Buttress, floral expert Jonathan Moseley sets them the tricky challenge to make a summer wreath and queen of preserves Thane Prince is on the hunt for a perfect relish.
