Episode 21 of 26

Carole checks on how this year鈥檚 crop of tomatoes is measuring up, and Brian looks at some newly planted apple trees.

It鈥檚 the time of year when all the hard work earlier in the season begins to pay off. Carole Baxter is in one of Beechgrove Garden鈥檚 greenhouses to record how this year鈥檚 crop of tomatoes is measuring up. Along with Ruth Vichos, another crop that will be checked is this year鈥檚 planting of blight-resistant potatoes. It has been a damp summer, which can mean ideal conditions for the disease that can affect the potato plants - but will the varieties that are meant to be blight-resistant pay off this year?

At Old Scone, Brian Cunningham looks at some newly planted apple trees and has some practical training advice on when is best to buy bare-root plants.

Plus all the usual handy hints and great gardening advice.
