The Beechgrove Garden 2023 episode 18 - It's a momentous occasion at the renowned Beechgrove Garden in Aberdeenshire today, as head gardeners George Anderson and Carole Baxter proudly harvest the first potatoes of the 2023 growing season. The potatoes look magnificent - large, smooth, and free of blemishes. George and Carole are ecstatic as this is one of their best potato crops yet. The harvest comes just in time for the annual Beechgrove Garden Potato Festival held later this week, where visitors can sample the garden's freshly dug tatties in a variety of delicious dishes. Carole mentions that the secret to their award-winning potatoes is plenty of organic compost worked into the soil.
