Jim is propagating from the strawberry stock, Chris revisits his experiment with root pruned peaches, and Carole takes a look at a range of beautiful chillies.

In the Beechgrove Garden, Jim is propagating from the strawberry stock. He's hoping to compare 1st, 2nd and 3rd year fruiting and taste over the next few years. Meanwhile, Chris revisits his experiment with root pruned peaches in pots and finds that they have put on a lot of growth and need careful pruning.

Carole takes a look at a range of beautiful chillies being grown in the greenhouse, from the standard fiery red to purple to yellow, and wonders whether a black variety called 'Vampire' has a good bite.

Jim and Chris both love roses in all their many forms and in this case they are going to try to grow a range of rambling roses up the conifers at the back of Chris' recent stumpery development in the garden. Jim visits the James Hutton Research Institute, which is situated in Scotland's fruit bowl, Invergowrie.
