Gardening for wildlife, vegetables and small spaces are all covered this week at Beechgrove. Brian is planting shrubs in the Garden for Wildlife, choosing varieties that will encourage and help pollinators.

Ruth starts her own vegetable plot that she will use as her entry in this year鈥檚 presenter veg-growing competition. She also starts her vertical garden, ideal for anyone with just a small space in which to grow. Ruth also tackles this year鈥檚 tomatoes in the 6x8 greenhouse, and she tests an automatic irrigation system that could be a great idea if you have to leave your precious plants to go on holiday this summer.

There are tips on what you should be doing with your dahlias right now, and Ruth is sowing lentils, which will be great for soup later in the year.
