Gàrradh Phàdruig, follows progress of keen newbie gardener Peter MacQueen, as he sets about transforming his back garden in the heart of Glasgow from a messy, neglected disaster zone to productive and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space.

As we enter summer, it is time to lift the early potatoes while Peter finds caterpillars on the cabbage. He gets a bite of his first home-grown fruit, a juicy plum! Coinneach bakes a cake from the first set of carrots to be lifted and Peter gives the plants a good drenching with seaweed fertiliser. We see Una and Chrissie pop in for a visit with mum, Annie - and Peter visits Donna MacLeod at her allotment in Glasgow.

The series is filmed across a growing season, from January to October. Seòras the dog is with Peter all of the time - Westies love to get their paws dirty!

Tha’n t-sreath seo, Gàrradh Phàdruig, a’tighinn bhon ghàrradh aig Pàdruig MacCuinn – nach do chuir làmh riamh roimhe air, thuige seo. Ach tha làn duil aige an gàrradh-cùil am meadhan Ghlaschu, bùrach robach fàs, ùrachadh gu bhi na lios torrach, brèagha sam bi e tlachdmhor ùine chur seachad.

Samhradh againn agus buntàta ùr ri thogail. Nàmhaid eile aig càl Phàdruig, dè ach burraich. Ach nach blasta a’chiad mheas as a ghàrradh fhèin – plumbais làn sùgh. Tha Coinneach a’dèanamh cèic-currain leis a chiad fheadhainn a bha abaich, agus tha Pàdruig a’dòrtadh todhar-feamad air na lusan. Tha nàbaidhean a’tadhal, agus tha Pàdruig a’gabhail chuairt dhan lios aig Donna NicLeòid.

Tha an t-sreath sgaoilte thar trì ràithean, bhon Fhaoilleach chun an Damhair. Tha Seòras an cù an còmhnaidh deiseil Pàdruig a’ chuideachadh – ‘sann a tha spògan salach a’còrdadh math ri abhagan!
