Beechgrove Garden – Season 46

The secateurs are out at Beechgrove Garden as Kirsty Wilson and Calum Clunie set about trimming, pruning and cutting to encourage new growth for the rest of the season and beyond. Now is the time to prune the wisteria if you have one, and Kirsty demonstrates just how to go about it. She also talks about what you should be doing to the laburnum right now. Both Kirsty and Calum tidy up the garden’s topiary, and Calum is in the flower bed cutting anything that is ready for the vase and tending to the varieties that will deliver scent and colour later in the season. There is a check on the pumpkins that were planted in the newly created Hugelkulture bed, plus the week’s handy hints.
