Jim checks to see if the soil temperature is warm enough to plant potatoes.

In this edition of the gardening magazine, Jim checks on the soil temperature of the main vegetable patch to see if it is now warm enough to plant potatoes.

In the Beechgrove garden, Jim is hoping that the soil is now warm enough to plant tatties in the main veggie plot, while on the decking garden Carole is also planting tatties on a tiny scale.

Chris and Carole are going on very different fungal forays in Beechgrove this year. Chris is creating a whole Jurassic Park fungal valley with ancient timbers and all manner of edible mushrooms. Again on the other end of the scale, Carole tries out some windowsill mushroom-growing kits.

George visits Alan Shamash's impressive hillside garden full of an extensive collection of rhododendrons in Kirkudbright.

Gardening with Jim McColl, Carole Baxter, Chris Beardshaw and George Anderson.

Scotland's gardening series returns for another season to dig up pearls of wisdom from the past. With Jim McColl, Carole Baxter, Chris Beardshaw and George Anderson.
