This week in Gardeners World 2018 episode 8 we are celebrating the very best of spring gardening with Monty at Longmeadow and visiting the RHS Malvern Spring Festival to see this year's hottest garden designs and the season's must-have plants. At Longmeadow, Monty plants herbaceous perennials for summer colour and gives advice on how to care for carnivorous plants.  Frances Tophill catches up with the growing trend for greening up indoor spaces with house plants and we meet the third finalist in our Every Space Counts competition. Carol Klein, Joe Swift and Adam Frost explore the showground at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival and bring us the best from the floral marquee and the show gardens.

The Beechgrove Garden episode 3 2017

To dig or not to dig, that is the question on Jim and George's lips in the Beechgrove Garden. Two side-by-side veg plots, both preparing to grow, but one has been dug over and the other untouched. Scone Palace is overrun by rabbits like many Beechgrove viewers' gardens.

Vegetable basics It's easy to get carried away when looking through seed and plant catalogues, so make sure you grow only what you really like, keeping experiments to a minimum. First of all think about how much space you have: this will be the greatest limitation on what you can grow. Also think about how long things take to grow - cabbages, for instance, are slow to mature and take
