Toby was not to bad. It was Joes allotment that really brought the show down.
was that the same allotment that was abandoned by him once the filming stopped? Talking of abandoned stuff, remember 'greenacre' that toby and the crew were planting up? It isn't very far from me, like a mile or so, and when the Beeb decided to reboot GW they just abandoned the whole damn lot, lovely waste of money there!
It is a shame I like all the small gardens front and back and veg plot it was all looking lovely and would of kept growing nicely
That is a terrible article they should make it a community garden or something not take it all apart. I liked Toby really liked watching them all there.
Maybe they need to use the garden and get new gardeners in and make another garden show maybe call something like - The gardening bug
Apparently (according to Amateur Gardening) Greenacre has now been resurrected as an urban veg growing project. I love the idea of using it as the basis of a new gardening programme. Perhaps Toby Buckland should be the presenter!
This is undoubtedly true, square foot. Popular appeal obviously counts for a lot, since viewing numbers are all-important for the survival of a programme. Toby was just not flamboyant enough and he was also the victim of other things, such as the fact that Joe's allotment was (apparently, I could not watch much that year) not popular and the format of the programme was not up to Toby, either. He's a good gardener though, and I like him and wish he had a niche somewhere.

Such a shame, and that greenhouse was lovely too, maybe I should make them an offer!

verdun highly doubtful since good gardeners and good garden tv do not always go together.

Any suggestions regarding new topics/presenters for GW?
maybe they should try tyre planters, I have it would be enjoyable to watch them trying to turn them inside out don't you think
