KIDS HORSE FARM

This project will have you and the kids horsing around for hours! With just a little bit of imagination you can breed your own Melbourne Cup winner on your very own toy horse farm complete with stables, fences and even a dam! This is so easy to make and will cost you next to nothing. Saddle up for some fun with your kids this weekend.

PICNIC FOOD

It's picnic season again and Ed has some fabulous meal ideas that are perfect for enjoying outdoors. His delicious tornado rolls and sweet friands travel well, don't go soggy and are as easy to eat as they are to make. There will be nothing left to carry home from this perfect picnic.

MONSTER MONSTERA

It's Graham versus the garden snatchers in this War on Weeds. A climbing monstera vine is attacking the brickwork of a city apartment block. Graham heads to the rescue but discovers this is only the tip of the iceberg. A whole range of invasive plants have also begun to take over the garden. If weeds are strangling your yard then now is the time to get them under control and Graham has the best tips to show you how.

HESSIAN BAG + PLASTIC BAG

Melbourne Cup fever has inspired Tara's latest and greatest creation. She transforms some old hessian horse feed bags into an ultra trendy and eco friendly shopping bag. Using the same idea she also turns some plastic bags into a funky beach bag. Convert the old bags around your home into brilliant designer accessories.

VERTICAL GARDEN

Jason gives a whole new meaning to growing up. Just as a painting enhances a wall in your home, a blank wall outdoors can be decorated with plants. Jason creates three stunning vertical gardens that are perfect to grow on walls, fences and trellises. These look a million bucks but will cost you next to nothing. From the Rolls Royce to budget versions, from cottage to contemporary - Jason has every option for every home!

LIVING LEGENDS

Dr Harry visits old Melbourne Cup champions at 'Living Legends' in Victoria, Australia's most exclusive rest home for mature horses. These legends deserve a comfortable and dignified retirement and so does your horse. Dr Harry shows how to after your special horse in their twilight years.

STICKY GINGER AND PINEAPPLE CAKE

Have you ever thought to use pineapple in a cake? Its intense tang and sweetness combines beautifully with the ginger and toffee in this recipe to make a deliciously sticky cake. This is so simple to make and is perfect to serve up to the cake lovers at your place.

BIG BERNESE

Big is definitely beautiful but what happens when your gentle giant starts to play a little rough? Julie and her daughter Bronte are the owners of a lovely Bernese mountain dog called Harley. Harley likes to play and often jumps up on people when he gets excited which is fine with adults but what about kids? Will Dr Harry have a solution to this big problem?

SOW PUMPKINS + POTW COUSIN IT

Pumpkins are a great addition to any veggie patch and now is the time to plant them. Graham also shows you a quirky plant called 'Cousin It'. This unusual plant looks great all year round and has real design flare. Add a touch of unique style to your garden with Graham's plant of the week.
