That was my thinking. They did say that it had been a long winter, and
mentioned the 46 frosts they'd had. Since weather is so important to a
garden, more could have been made of this - it isn't as if they didn't
have any warning, after all. But we got shown one plant that had
suffered, and Carol's appropriate snowdrop piece.

Round here the fields (and gardens) are practically waterlogged, and a
few days of sun and wind have made little impact on that. It must be
the same over much of the country, but this just wasn't taken up by
the programme.


Oh, exactly my point. It just launched straight off, and we still have
no idea what's coming....but perhaps on looking back, they've done
that in order to keep the schedule 'flexible', while monitoring the
feedback. No hostages to fortune, perhaps.


Just so long as it isn't the "...what a wonderful world..." variety!

Be glad it wasn't  Toby Buckland's cod piece.


We could have a 15 minute weather forecast embedded in the programme and a piece
about how to fudge climate change databases for amateurs.


Perhaps they did it to increase the gardening content and to reduce the mindless
waffle that was in the previous series.


It was sad not to see how very expensive gardening tools could be used as door
handles on a brightly painted simple 400 square metre garden shed.

 




   Fudge?  Lets  include a dental hygiene soundbite.  Plus a section on
diabetes.

   Why should it  be?  

    GW, like gardening posters here,  know that  there is no "must be
the same conditions over the rest of the country".
   We all have different weather as posts here constantly demonstrate
