G脿rradh Ph脿druig follows the progress of a keen newbie gardener Peter MacQueen. He sets about transforming his back garden in the heart of Glasgow from a messy, neglected disaster zone to productive - and aesthetically pleasing - outdoor space.

We rejoin Peter and Se貌ras in the garden where they are busy with early spring jobs. The seeds in the window have sprouted and so Peter starts building the greenhouse which is not without its challenges; fiddly parts, missing instructions, hailstones and smashed glass - what a pane! Peter plants more seeds in trays, in time for the growing season. At Glasgow鈥檚 Potato Day, Peter meets Alasdair MacDonald from North Uist who helps him select varieties of potatoes.

The series is filmed across a season, from January to October. Se貌ras the dog is with Peter all of the time - Westies love to get their paws dirty!
