    "Hello Brian. Many thanks for taking the time to send us your feedback.

    We did actually feature an item on orchid care in the last programme. If you missed it you can watch it at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rw8nd

    We may be covering houseplants again during the series, as it's something that has been mentioned at one of our production meetings, so we hope that you will continue to watch. We try to include items of interest to a wide range of viewers, and bring beauty to the screen for both indoor and outdoor gardeners. Thanks again!"

    Also, Brian, you might find our collection of greenhouse gardening projects on gardenersworld.com of interest: http://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/projects/category/greenhouse-house-plants/

    We hope this is useful. Best wishes, the Gardeners' World web team
  • doesn't a day like today gladen your heart's, I went with our local Horticulteral Society to "Hall place" in Kent today, run by the local Council, really a smashing place and they sell plant's so I have slightly cheated and purchased some Italian plum tomatoes a yellow fruit just to make a change from my usual variaties.

  • Help please!
    Im a first time veg grower and need a little help. I have planted my courgette seeds in seedling trays and they have now germinated and have 2 strong leaves and a 3rd leaf on the way. Am I right in saying that I plant out when the plants have all 3 leaves and the chance of frost has gone? Also do I put only one plant in a pot or 2?

    Secondly I have planted dwarf beans in a seed tray 2 per insert. When do I plant these out in containers and how plany plants per pot. They are contained seeds?

    Thanks

  • Just one other question..... I sowed my cut and come again lettuce in a row in a long trough. Do I need to thin it out now its come through the soil or do I leave it.
