What annoys me is why 3 of the programmes have not been shown?? They were due to air before xmas but no show?? Especially was looking forward to the Allotment episode, why do the BBC always advertise these programmes then only show half of them?? I wouldn't mind but they took tthem off for some real , REPEATED!! Drivel!
Brilliant pond bit really like so many plants to think about buying and going into the pond when I have got it in place for the wildlife, great to have a pond to swim in Clarington that is one for you and your big pond you got for your garden not that big for here great presenting from Charlie
Got tree stumps will have to add some nice ferns and aconites
Tonights Great Garden Revival showed a great idea for growing mushrooms on a block of wood, Chris Beardshaw definitely inspired me to get some fungi growing. Looks so easy.
Enjoyed it again. Connie77, they were postponed because Nelson Mandela died. I think understandable, he was a great man. The rest of the programmes are tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Loved the stumpery and I have been threatening a visit to Highgrove when it's open for guided walks to the public for sometime now, so that definitely makes it a must!
I have some large log piles for wildlife but I must add some more wood and be a bit more creative I think!...
Someone decided to have a pint with his meal & loudly chatted through the entire episode!! Thank goodness for iplayer I really wanted the names of some of those plants Charlie had in her boggy area they looked beautiful.
I absolutely loved last nights section on stumperies. Sublime! I didn't realise just how beautiful "boring" plants such as ferns can be. In the right environment they are stunning. (We already have a good few at home but can't say I've warmed to them, perhaps cos they're all higgeldy piggledy and look as though someone dropped them there and couldnt be bothered to pick them up! I don't know if I'd go the whole hog with full stumperies but this persuaded me to plant more ferns, in as many varieties as I can and just sit back and watch them grow. I bought a lot of flowering plants last year as the property I live in is surrounded by trees, has tree borders and is green, green and green however I've now seen how lovely green can be so why not just go with the whole "in its own environment" thing and not worry so much with "flowering beauties".
I have a walkway that leads no where, logs that are not suitable for chopping for various reasons, and I just felt it would be great, I already have a variegated 'hedghog' Holly waiting to go somewhere which with the old oak would make a great back drop - so - in time I think I will make one.
First though new raspberry bed and clear the old pallets to make a space for it -excited

It certainly inspired me to make a mini stumpery.
