Watch The Beechgrove Garden online: Episode 4 Episode 4

If the soil is warm enough, it's time to plant your tatties. Jim starts by reviewing the 'con' (as he calls it) of the tatties for Christmas that we tried at the end of last year. Then onto the real business of good old traditional methods of planting tatties. Although going for traditional this time, Jim is trying out a brand new - supposed to be - miracle new fertiliser. Meanwhile on a smaller scale, Lesley and Carole start off their now legendary tatties-in-containers challenge and this time they have a new stacking system of growing for small spaces and the tatties can be planted/stacked up to six plants high. Jim visits Bryan and Angela Harris in Blairgowrie, who with their six-month-old baby want to be as self-sufficient as they can. They moved to this house last March and inherited several large fruit trees - two apple and one plum. They had a bumper crop of apples from one tree but haven't got a clue how to prune it to maintain the crop. One of the apple trees has an alarming tilt over the greenhouse so they want to sort that out. They also want Jim to show them how to create a mini-orchard and fill up their veg plot... so not much to be done in the day for Jim, what will he do after lunch?
