Frances Tophill is back at Damson Farm, lending a hand with autumn jobs in the garden. She learns of a clever recipe for making an architectural compost cake, plants a container with evergreens and spring bulbs, and takes hard wood cuttings from a tree with beautiful berries.

There’s a teacher who’s planted hundreds of apple trees on his allotment. Nick Bailey explores the science of how sun-loving plants must adapt to try and survive and thrive in the shade. Sue Kent is busy at home doing some moving and manoeuvring in her borders ready for spring, and Arit Anderson is in Oxfordshire to visit a garden that blends seamlessly with its home.
