    Always liked Beechgrove but the guy doing show vegetables really gets on my nerves.

    I have to agree. He may just be trying too hard to be 'entertaining' and will tone things down if he continues with the programme.

    Like the bit on box alternatives and in fact all the prog except Calumn.  He needs to tone it down a bit.

    No! leave Calum be he's entertaining not like the usual droning on.

    I only got as far as Calum before OH demanded I turn it off, because he felt like he was in infants' school. Carol Kirkwood has the same effect. Maybe it's the Scottish accents

    We got to visit last week as part of a tour with the garden charity Perennial.  Not usually open to the public.  Interesting to see many of the things you see on TV.  We were told not to be "helpful " if we saw a weed or two,  it's all part of the narrative as they recover from last year's lockdown .😄

    Sheuch.

    A ditch, esp one cut for drainage,  an open drain in edge of a field  almost like a tank trap.
    Asked one of the blokes in work who was from Northern Ireland, he said in some of the wetter areas they have them on all sides of the field, that is why they don't have the devastating floods on the land they have over here as the water is contained in the sheuch which have to overflow before it runs off.

    Must admit l was inspired by Kirsty's living picture frame using the succulents. 
    The "recycling lady" had some very interesting ideas too, and the "new build guy" had some very interesting tips.

    I won't be doing the succulent thing in a frame but I can see that it would appeal to quite a few people.   I liked the recycled garden too @AnniD

    I like the way they're going round the garden and showing progress, or not.  Some of those perennial plantings in the rose garden are just gorgeous.  CB I believe, such a clever chap.
