The Big Allotment Challenge
SERIES 1 - EPISODE 1
BBC Two: Tuesday 15th April 8pm - 9pm1/6. New series. Fern Britton presents a contest in which nine pairs of gardeners have their skills put to the test as they attempt to produce high-quality fruit, vegetables and flowers, and are also challenged to produce jams, chutneys, cordials, pickles and jellies. They begin by having to present three matching radishes and seven perfect spikes of sweet peas, before they face a timed flower-arranging task and finish by making fruit jam and curd using ingredients from their allotment. Royal Horticultural Society judge Jim Buttress, floral designer Jonathan Moseley and food writer Thane Prince give their verdicts on their efforts and decide which of the teams will be first to leave the competition.
