Grow Your Own At Home With Alan Titchmarsh episode 5: In this penultimate episode – filmed by his wife Alison – Alan creates a cutting garden in the veg plot, with flowers to pick for the home from summer until the first frost.
Frances Tophill moves ever closer to finishing the makeover of her tiny plot in Folkestone, while Katie Rushworth stays indoors to grow soil-free herbs in a beginners’ guide to hydroponics. In the Midlands, David Domoney constructs a homemade cold-frame to grow some exotic family favourites – sweet potatoes and aubergines.
Grow Your Own At Home With Alan Titchmarsh episode 5
Alan Fred Titchmarsh is an English gardener, broadcaster, poet, and novelist. After working as a professional gardener and a gardening journalist, he established himself as a media personality through appearances on gardening programmes. He has developed a diverse writing and broadcasting career.
Titchmarsh’s first few television appearances were on the long-running BBC television show Nationwide as a horticulture expert. This led to his being invited to present coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show for BBC television in 1983. Titchmarsh hosted this every year until 2013.
In 1996 the cancellation of Pebble Mill at One gave Titchmarsh the opportunity to move back towards his first love, gardening, and he took over as host of another long-running BBC television programme, Gardeners’ World in the same year, the show being filmed in his own garden.
