A Dumfries man who took up growing his own food during lockdown is set to appear on BBC Scotland’s gardening series Beechgrove.
Retired mechanichal engineer Graham Anderson will appear on the second episode next Thursday in which viewers will get to know six groups of families and individuals from around Scotland.
The show will celebrate Scottish horticulture, deal with growing conditions and share tips and tricks.
Graham started his gardening journey in lockdown. His main ambition was to grow vegetables to feed the family but he now produces foods ranging from potatoes to chillies and cucumbers and is set to tackle sweetcorn this year.
Beechgrove executive producer Gwyneth Hardy said: “Our Beechgrowers – including Graham – are all raring to go this year to share their gardening experiences, tips and occasional disasters. There is a big emphasis among this year’s Beechgrowers on growing your food, but they all promise to have a wealth of gardening stories to share across the board.”
During lockdown, the series was filmed at presenters’ gardens but this year Beechgrowers will be back on the ‘home turf’ for the first episode of the new run. The team will be growing a range of flowers including the sunflower which is the national flower of Ukraine. There will also be a visit to an inspirational sunflower maze in the East Neuk of Fife town of Elie.
Presenter Brian Cunningham said: “We can’t wait to be back with a brand new series and it is terrific to have such a great slot on the network for audiences across the UK.”
Beechgrove started back on the screen yesterday at 8 pm on the BBC Scotland channel. It will also be shown on the network BBC Two on Friday nights just ahead of Gardeners’ World.

Paloma Faith with red hair isn’t alien to us, but Paloma with a bright red mullet-like crop definitely is something that has surprised us this week.The singer took to the Concert for Ukraine stage with a brand new look, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen her wear before.The 40 year old tends to prefer more conventional hairstyles featuring either intricate updos or mid-length curls, but she’s switching it up this week with a very edgy mullet-like pixie cut.The technical definition of a mullet is a hairstyle in which the hair is cut short at the front and sides but is longer at the back, so Paloma’s look is somewhere in between this shaggy cut and a Tinkerbell-like pixie chop. Very 2022, we think.
