Nick Wray visits artists John and Fiona Owen who gain inspiration for their paintings of flowers and gardens from their own garden perched high on a Gloucestershire hillside.
Bob Flowerdew has half a dozen ideas on things to do with a dead fridge or freezer, including turning it into a cold frame or propagator, rodent-proof storage for apples or, with a little desiccating gel, a place to keep seeds.
Gay Search provides another of her recipes for instant gardening with ideas for creating a colourful border.
