Gardeners' World - Season 53 - Episode 23
At Longmeadow, Monty plans for next spring when he plants some early-flowering wildflowers and gives his recipes for the different compost mixes he uses to take successful cuttings. Nick Bailey continues his quest for the South African origins of our much-loved summer bulbs, and in the heart of London, we meet a keen gardener who has filled her houseboat with ornamental and edible plants. From the archives, we meet a man who took on a barren Lincolnshire field and turned it into a haven for wildflowers, and we travel to Preston to visit a woman who is passionate about propagation and, in particular, pineapples.
