Love your garden/gardeners world

  Not watched either for a while. I'm seriously beginning to doubt my sanity!
I don't do flowers, only veg, but I'm quite happy to watch the flowery bits.
BUT.....GW tonight....2 mins on veg! And....I can go see country house
gardens if I want. £400 garden ornaments?? What planet are the programme
producers living on?? Whats happened to the ....here's how....element?  Am I
odd in wanting to be shown how....what problems to watch out for and how to
deal with them.....a kind of GQT on TV. Please...someone convince me I'm
normal!!

I love it when they start talking about small gardens, then show half a
football pitch. A small garden is, say, 20ft by 30ft. about the size of
those kitchens and bathrooms in the adverts. :-)

I am the same as you....only grow veg.
You are normal.(if I am, and I think I am)
The BBC I think have lost touch with their viewers in this case.

A GQT type programme on BBC TV dealing with vegatable growing would be a
very nice thing to watch. A nice matter of fact approach with no fancy
trimmings or overpaid "has been" presenters would be so nice.

Give Beechgrove Garden a try then Baz,
What I'd like to see is more use made of different varieties of a shrub
or perennial, not just 'a Clematis' or 'a Philadelphus'. There is such a
wide variety in most types of plants so what might suit one garden
wouldn't suit another and vice versa.

I just gave it a try on iPlayer.
It is very good, very good indeed, though it is 50/50.
Matter of fact and no boilers.

Many thanks for pointing me at this.
