Edwardian Farm (2010)

S01E11 July

In July, the team faces their busiest period on the farm as they gear up for the cherry harvest, enlisting the help of their Dartmoor pony, Laddy, and indulging in a cherry feast to celebrate their efforts. Historian Ruth Goodman experiments with salmon netting, while archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn take urgent steps to protect their potato crop from a blight. Seeking low-cost labor, Alex visits an Edwardian classroom, complete with strict discipline, to recruit children. Meanwhile, Ruth learns to craft a bathing suit from wool, and the team enjoys a rare day off as they embark on a church outing to the seaside.
