Carol focuses her students' attention on the care of seedlings, shows them how to pot on plants and shares her in-depth knowledge of the most flamboyant plant in the summer garden - the dahlia. Joe is back on his allotment catching up on his crops, and in Design Made Easy, he gives advice on the best colourful climbing plants for pergolas. Alys joins Toby at Greenacre and, as well as catching up on all the seasonal gardening tasks, sows oriental vegetables.

    September is the month when exotic plants reach their exuberant best, and in the tropical border at Greenacre Toby shows us which plants have performed.

And Radio One DJ Sarah Cox invites us into her own garden to see how she and her family have benefited from her first year of growing vegetables.

Toby Buckland explains which plants to go for and how to collect and store them.
