Garden Time has the following: This week we check out edible natives, boxwood blight, fairy and gnome gardens. We visit the Connie Hansen garden and get our house ready for painting.
And German regionall broadcaster WDR has a programme about an elderly couple who find that maintaining their garden is becoming increasingly difficult. They asked WDR's garden specialist to help them make the garden easier to maintain.
Oops, seems I spoke too soon when I said it was dry here. It's just started bucketing down again. Ah, well, the garden can do with some more rain I guess.
A lovely sunny day here in The Netherlands. And here are the latest links.
Oklahoma Gardening had uploaded three new episodes. The first one has items about -Planting Pumpkins in the Vegetable Garden with Ray Campbell -Creating a Windbreak on Your Property with Mike Schnelle -Making Planters from Children's Toys with Brenda Sanders -Managing Wood-Boring insects with Eric Rebek -Barbara Brown prepares a Strawberry and Asparagus Salad.
This is in the second one... -Vegetable Container Garden Update with Ray Campbell -Identifying and Controlling Squash Bugs -Unwanted Insects in Peach Trees Tips for Harvesting Rainwater -Four Most Common Fruit Tree Diseases in Oklahoma Orchards -Barbara Brown prepares Black Beans and Rice

Another lovely summer day here in The Netherlands.
Saturday today, and that means Gardening Australia. Here is what's in today's show.
An Underground Network: Jane joins ecologist Alison Pouliot to explore the wonderful diversity of fungi and find out how they are integral to the health and vitality of gardens.
Protecting Plants: Tino shows how to protect plants from the cold and frost.
Clear the Competition: Sophie shows why it's important to keep weedy grass away from young trees.
Will Work for Food!: Costa drops in on viewer Tracy Morgan to help with her ailing citrus plants and lend a hand with some jobs in the garden.
Gorgeous Gums: Josh profiles some small eucalyptus species that are perfect for the home garden.
Lumpy Lilly Pilly: Angus solves a lumpy lilly pilly question.
A Taste of the Unusual: Jerry explores an impressive food garden that's introducing people to uncommon and easy to grow edibles.
Raining here in The Netherlands at the moment. Good for the garden though.
Only one garden programme today. This one is a German one where a "garden doctor" visits an allotment site to help the gardeners with all sorts of problems, mainly pests and diseases.
Cool and grey here in The Netherlands at the moment, but I'm not complaining, because a friend who lives in Nice just told me that temperatures don't even get below 27 during the night, phew.
More gardening programmes on the web tday than yesterday.
ARTE has what I think is the final episode of that series about historic gardens in eastern Europe. This one in Lednice-Valtice is apparently the largest landscaped garden in Europe.
Two very fat baby blackbirds are sitting just outside the window here at the moment, screaming their heads off while their poor parents keep feeding them.
Servus TV has finally uploaded the episode of Landträume about gardens Wales. One of them is Crug Farm.
And Decouvertes Jardins has uploaded its July programme. Items about trachelospermum, topiary, lavender and a weird bit about what they call a garden on water.
Dry, but grey here in The Netherlands at the moment, and those pesky little blackbirds are still screaming for food. I feel sorry for their poor parents.
Here is today's harvest. First Garden Time. This is in this week's show.
We visit a new lily festival near Portland, we found some great plants for the summer garden, there are tips for trees in containers, we make some blackberry jam and get our garden tips for the month.
There should have been new episodes of Landträume on the web, but the site of Servus TV seems to have gremlins. The link to the episode about the Catalan region in Spain has a programme about the origins of man and yesterday's episode shows a black screen where the video should be. I hope they'll soon fix it.

I did find the final episode of that Dutch programme where they replace paved gardens with plants though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUvEABwLnL4
They also uploaded a special about green roofs. Apparently the city of Groningen here in The Netherlands gives grants for green roofs.
