planting out courgettes at this urban farm in hull. for hundreds of years, this was an active dock. but over the last decade, this industrial wasteland has been transformed into an unlikely, but thriving, community garden. we have got good, honest spuds in here. they're a really good, easy win for growing and getting people sort of growing food... martin's been involved for the last eight years, training hundreds of volunteers. like the variety of veg that we have, we have a variety of people, lots of different people come and use the site. like, we do a bit of work with local mental health charities and the probation service, the local rehabs. if you weren't here, what would you be doing? nothing, just sat at home. there's quite a lot of people who come here who are isolated and that hardly ever leave their flats. in 2007, west yorkshire started

to see rhubarb popping up in railway stations, peas outside police stations, and herbs beside health centres. 16 years ago, i was reminded about climate change. with some mates, decided we'd start to grow food to share in very public places. we wouldn't ask for permission. we'd just start a conversation — we called them "propaganda gardens". well, getting access to the land was the next challenge, so two years ago, a campaign was launched allowing people access to grow on public land. and hull has become the first place in the country to adopt the "right to grow". hull is now leading the way. during the last two months, they've started planting veg patches in parks. this former dock, in the heart of the city, is really proving to be the perfect classroom. fiona lamdin, bbc news. thanks for your company over the last few hours.

hello. it was a bit of a misty, murky start for some of us, but for most places, the sunshine has broken through and there's a lot of dry weather on the cards for the rest of today. this was the picture in freshwater on the isle of wight a little bit earlier on. we can see that cumulus cloud that's bubbling up, and for some places, that willjust spark off one or two showers, but many of us are seeing some dry and sunny weather. now, to the south of the uk, we've got a couple of nondescript areas of low pressure here, so they are going to throw a little bit of rain our way at times through the course of the weekend. but for the rest of the afternoon, a few showers, particularly so for the west of scotland,
2:57 pm
the odd thundery one here. one or two further south across parts of england and wales, but many of us avoiding them. temperatures for most of us between 20 to perhaps 23 celsius, warmest across the west of scotland, a little bit colder around this east coast where we've got a little bit of lingering low cloud and fog. through this evening tonight, we'll start seeing more of that sea fog rolling in, becoming more extensive for parts of northern, eastern england, down the east coast. further inland we've got some clearer spells, but there could be some patchy fog almost anywhere to start saturday morning. fairly mild first thing, we've got those light winds around. low pressure close to the near continent on saturday morning, though. we can just see this warm front moving through and that could very well bring some outbreaks of rain to parts of kent and sussex, essex, for instance, first thing in the morning. down towards the channel islands, some of that rain could be quite persistent. sea fog still lingering for parts of eastern scotland, perhaps northeast england, burning back during the day, but as those showers drift westwards, there could be the odd thunderstorm, perhaps wales and southwest england for instance as well, but any of the showers are fairly hit and miss on saturday. a good deal of dry, settled weather if you've got outdoor plans. temperatures again a little above average, but always a few
2:58 pm
degrees cooler close to that northeast coast. similarly, on sunday, we've got low cloud again moving in from the north sea. scotland is a little bit cloudy. i think one or two showers, not quite as warm, but for the rest of the uk, any showers are fairly few and far between, so some good spells of blue sky and sunshine, light winds after early mist and fog clears, and top temperatures around 22 celsius, but cooler around that east coast where we keep that low cloud and murk. head on into monday and tuesday, we've got low pressure starting to dry and approach, so although the next few days relatively dry, it looks like things turn more unsettled from mid week onwards. a touch cooler, but perhaps drier again towards the end of this coming week. bye— bye.
