We had a night with heavy thunderstorms and loads of rain here in The Netherlands. And according to the weather forecasts more to come later tday and tomorrow.
Here are the latest garden programmes I managed to find on the web.
Gartenträume visited gardens in the Wallachia region of Romania.
Saturday again, and that means Gardening Australia.
And this is what's in today's programme.
Preventing Leaf Curl: Tino shows how to control leaf curl on stone fruit trees.
Camellia Care: Jane shows how to hard prune and revive tired camellias.
Little Africa: Josh visits a gardener with a stunning collection of weird and wonderful succulents and cycads from Africa.
FAQ's - Green Rhubarb | Composting Dog Waste | Gypsum and Lime: Answers to frequently asked questions from emails, letters and Facebook.
Plant Profile - Hybrid Strawberry Tree: John profiles a great tree for small backyards.
The Curated Garden: Jerry visits a gardener who has combined his love of the decorative arts with his love of old-fashioned plants to create a shady and colourful garden.
Tree Protection: Tino gives a great tip on how to protect trees from whipper snipper damage.
Get a Handle On It: Costa shows how to give tired hand tools a new lease of life by rehandling and oiling them so they last for years to come.
The Power of Potassium: Jerry explains the importance of potassium to plants, and shows how to apply it to encourage stronger growth and juicier fruit.
And, as usual, the programme should be available after 12.00 here.
I really enjoyed the series about English gardens which 3SAT is airing at the moment, but after a few episodes they have suddenly decided that the rest of the series can not be available on demand because of copyrights. Really strange!
And I couldn't find any other new programmes today either.
Fortunately I've still got a few bits from the PBS archives.
And finally a programme from ARTE about Russian datchas. Datchas are the little houses many Russians have in the country, where they often grow much of the fruits and veggies they need to live on.
It looks like it's going to be a lovely sunny day here.
Here is the latest harvest of garden programmes from the web.
First Garden Time, and this is what's in it...
On this weeks show we build a bench out of cinder blocks, we check out sun tolerant hostas, we paint a lawn green to save water, we meet our Black Gold Winners and learn how to mark our plants with rocks. We also learn about saving the Silverspot butterfly and the Street of Dreams cabinets.
Saturday again, and that means Gardening Australia.

And as usual, it should be available from around 12.00 here.
