I used to enjoy watching GW with Toby, Carol and Alys. It was they who made me think, yeah I could have a go at that. As I am new to gardening I find that sometimes gardening programmes do forget that not all of us are experts and do need all the advice we can get.
If Carol Kirkwood's programme, not that I've seen it, was the only one on TV there might be some cause for complaint, but there are others that cover different ground, so I think there's a case for living and letting live. But there's no chance of a gardening channel, so what you get is about all that's likely. There is plenty of stuff on the web, in books, in magazines, in newspapers, in garden centres and B&Q, not to mention friends and allotment neighbours, relating to practical techniques and problems, so actually information has never been more accessible. No TV programme can do other than scratch the surface in 30 or 60 minutes. You have to make up your mind whether you really want to do the hard work of finding out how to do things or whether you just want to be entertained.
Anyway, how did people manage to garden for the first 6000 years?
Its wasnt a complaint...just an observation. I still watch it. I like GW. Im no expert and am grateful for all helps and tips. I enjoy any gardening programme. I was just wondering if anyone else thought the samexas me no offence meant at all.
I will get the hang of what people mean on thi site yet lolol. One thing that was a bit of a daft thing to show me was the fern grotto. I SOOOO want one of them now and my OH bike shed would be perfect lol.
