Monty is getting the garden ‘holiday ready’ as he tackles some of the jobs to do before going away this summer. He also plants phlox in the Cottage Garden, harvesting potatoes and sowing seeds for late summer salads. As areas of gardens can start to look a bit bedraggled at this time of year, Monty cuts back plants that have finished flowering and gives the garden a refresh as the late summer season begins.\n\nCarol Klein shares tips on how to increase the stocks of some favourite flowering bulbs and tubers – for free.\n\nAdam Frost visits an Italian-inspired garden in Devon and meets the team bringing this important piece of horticultural history back to life. \n\nThere's a gardener in Lancashire who, in retirement, developed a passion for that most fragrant of summer flowers, the sweet pea.\n\nPlus a visit to Surrey to explore the garden of a couple who have created a colourful oasis out of some very tricky conditions.
