The Victorian Kitchen Garden S01E07 - June

'Flaming June' lives up to its name. Harry is kept busy manipulating the blinds and ventilators of the glasshouses, to protect the emerging tomatoes, cucumbers and melons. Peter shows how the development of the glasshouse allowed the Victorians to grow tropical fruits and flowers hitherto unknown in Britain.
In the garden the bees swarm, and Harry tackles slugs with soot, and wireworm with a carrot.
The briefness of the British summer.... renders the well-kept planthouse a place of most agreeable resort.
