The Beechgrove Garden

Episode 13 (5x13)

: 27, 2011

In the Beechgrove Garden, let's hope it's good weather as everyone has their waders on and are bound for the pond. The team are getting rid of blanketweed, splitting and dividing pond plants as well as taking a look at the success of the planting among the Gabions that we put in to hold the bank in place. Jim is also on the lawn testing out a new lawn moss drug. Carole is helping out Tina and Bill Briglands from Grantown-on-Spey. They have a small pond in their garden that has become overgrown. They would still like to have water in the garden and so Carole replaces the pond with a bubble fountain surrounded by planting with pebbles as mulch to keep weed at bay. Jim visits the delightful and relatively new garden of Janet Ireland and Paul Newman in Montrose. Their previous garden was on Orkney and this sheltered Montrose haven allows the couple a much bigger palette of planting with fruit and veg and drifts of perennials.
