It鈥檚 the first episode of September and, as we head into autumn, it鈥檚 time to check in on some of the successes at Beechgrove Garden this season. Lizzie Schofield and Ruth Vichos lift the garden鈥檚 carrot crop and, after weeks of growing, find out if it鈥檚 a bumper harvest or if the dreaded carrot fly has done any damage.

Lizzie鈥檚 big project this summer has been to rejuvenate Beechgrove鈥檚 herb garden, so she will be back amongst the sage and thyme to make sure all her new planting has settled in. Meanwhile, Ruth explains that, even though summer is almost over, you can still have lots of interest on your doorstep with containers planted for autumn colour.

Lizzie looks even further ahead as she plants alliums that will produce plenty of colour in spring as well being a great help to the pollinators in your garden, and Calum has the latest from his allotment in Leven.
