The clocks spring forward this weekend, so it's time to get down to business in the garden. Monty Don plants up a new bed of asparagus and shows us how to lift and divide hostas. And on our second visit to South Africa, we explore the conditions that allow agapanthus to thrive in the wild. Moved here : https://video-clump.com/2017/11/26/gardeners-world-episode-4-2015/  Gardening how to's : 1. Agapanthus tips Steve and Elaine Hickman, holders of a National Collection of Agapanthus, have given us their top tips for keeping agapanthus happy in pots. If you’re buying smaller plants, place several together in a pot as this restriction of the roots initiates flower buds. Put two or three 9cm plants in a 30cm/10 litre pot. They should be happy for two years. Then repot into a container just 5-7cm bigger than the previous pot. Ensure there is good drainage, with a mix of 2 parts compost to 1 part sand, gravel or grit. From mid-March to mid-September, give the plants a high-p

This is great as it means that you can confidently go off on your holidays knowing that your plants will be kept watered and fed all by themselves.  The heating i

At the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, Carol is thrilled to be shown a unique hand-painted record of 400 of the most prized specimens of the Dutch tulip era and discovers how the wealthy elite were struck by tulip mania and the economy was almost brought to its knees. 'Broken' tulips became the obsession, but their extraordinary colours and patterns were caused by a virus. Tulip breeder Jan Ligthart shows Carol some similar examples bred today without the virus. It takes many years and much cross-breeding to create something so striking but even t
