Courgette recipes, summer vegetable plot diseases and discovering the Gardens by the Tay.

Pennie Latin has recipes using courgettes and advice on how to tackle summer vegetable plot diseases and pests. Plus Dan Holland visits the Gardens by the Tay.

Courgettes are very much in season but if you're struggling for ideas because of a mountain of home-grown courgettes then why not let Pennie Latin and The Kitchen Garden team inspire you to try some fresh new recipes.

Chef and cafe owner Kirsten Gilmour cooks live in the gardens of the BBC in Inverness. This week she's making a courgette salad with parma ham and a potato and courgette rosti. We'll also hear cook Carina Contini making a fresh courgette salad with crowdie cheese and edible flowers.

Gardening expert Nicola Singleton gives advice and tips on how to combat this summer's most common diseases and pests in our veg plots. After a spell of warm dry weather followed by lots of rain the conditions are, unfortunately, perfect for both...

Garden enthusiast Charles Quinnell shares his secrets for growing garlic plus how best to use it up and store it if you have too much.

Dan Holland visits the Gardens by The Tay, a community grow-your-own project in the centre of Newburgh which aims to promote a healthier diet, build community links and improve both physical and mental health. Plus Nicola and Charles look at the increasing enthusiasm for growing in public spaces.
