It's late spring, and a busy time of year in the garden for Christine. She's been invited to a 'tomato weekend' in the West Country and getting there allows her to indulge in one of her greatest passsions, plant hunting. Christine also finds the time to help her neighbour Reg prune a magnolia tree.

Watch our exclusive clip of Christine's challenge.

It's June, and there's already a hose pipe ban in place. Christine is determined not to let her plants die and comes up with ingenious ways of keeping her garden alive. She heads north for a mass planting day along the old steam railway line, and closer to home Christine digs over her beds and prepares the garden for summer.

Watch how Christine copes with the hose pipe ban.

Summer is here, and despite her best efforts, Christine's plants are wilting under a relentless sun. While it's not the best time of year for her to take on a 60ft by 12ft high overgrown hedge, Christine steps up to the challenge with a single pair of secateurs.

Watch Christine and her neighbour Reg plant in the hot sun.

It's late August in the garden and Christine and her neighbour Reg have decided to enter their tomatoes into the local summer show. The two titans of vegetable growing go head to head in a seismic battle to decide who is to be crowned 'the tomato king'.

See how Christine's vegetables are judged at the local show.
