Christine's Garden - Season 2

Christine Walkden's garden blossoms in spring, but she still finds time to help her struggling neighbour Reg and offer tips at an old steam railway line in Yorkshire.

It's late spring and a busy time of the year for horticulturalist Christine Walkden. She has been invited to a tomato weekend in the West Country, where she can indulge in her passion for plant-spotting.

It's June, and there's a hose pipe ban in place. Horticulturalist Christine is determined not to let her plants die. She digs over her beds and prepares the garden for summer, but also finds time to head north.

Despite Christine's best efforts, her plants are wilting under a relentless summer sun. But never one to shirk a challenge, she takes on a 60ft long and 12ft high overgrown hedge with only secateurs.

Christine and Reg have decided to enter their tomatoes into a local show, going head to head for the title of Tomato King.

Christine heads for a farmers' market in Bolton for local produce in preparation for a Lancashire evening to be held back at home.
