A to Z of gardening

galest · January 2013

I really do wish the BBC wouldnt be so quick to take past episodes off the iplayer. First they took all the GW programs off within days of the last one being aired and now they are doing it with the new gardening program A to Z of gardening.I wanted to watch A of gardening which was only on 3 Sundays ago to see about apple tree grafting and its gone already. Even B has gone and its not 2 weeks old. Theres nothing in their place to do with gardening so why not leave them there especially as I and probably others find it a good program.

Most programmes are only on i-player for 7 days-I don't think it is a bias against gardening programmes

If you look at it from a BBC point of view-if every programme was left on indefinitely it would impossible to manage or navigate

There are loads of videos on you-tube on grafting apples-try those?

I missed A too galest , maybe it will be repeated at some point. Wish there were more gardening programmes full stop .

Little disappointed that they did not show any of the Chilli trial for Chilli's (when they covered C) but least we have some sort of a gardening fix for the winter.

galest. Know what you mean, watching on iplayer, you need to be quick to watch the programme before it goes off. At least the Beeb are listening and there are gardening programmes on over winter though a different way of showing repeats but some thought has gone into the structure of the programme, I give it a thumbs up. Now you know each programme goes off iplayer after 7 days, just remember to watch it before it does.

I''ve enjoyed all three programmes on iplayer, just watched C. Found the chilli part informative and amusing at the end with people tasting chillies. Showing veg was good too and I was reminded not to sow courgettes till April.

Chin up, you can always record future programmes for all prosperity, then watch the programmes at your leisure.

don't dispair guys, if you missed it, there are lots of gardening programmes on youtube.

some of them may be a year old or more, but if you havent seen it then its new to you. I truly LOVE GW and with a week to catch up is plenty, but if you do miss it, then do a search online.
