Upwards and onwards! It's a valid point about the unrealism of some of the programme for the average gardener, though I agree wholeheartedly that it is inspiring and stimulates the imagination. I get new ideas and aspirations every week. I would love to see more of real, well-designed small gardens and learn how the owners achieved it. On my first visit to RHS Rosemoor, the places I loved most were the four small suburban gardens that they had designed, and also the wonderful potager garden, whose beauty actually made me cry. (I seldom cry). Next time I went, looking forward to seeing them again, the four gardens were no more. They had been boringly incorporated into a larger area. The potager was still there. Joe shows ways of designing small areas and, although I don't relate to his style, there are always ideas to copy and he helps me understand what design is all about. What I need is help to maximise the unpromising space that I am stuck with and aam ttempting to beautify.
What is it with some of the chaps on this Board? Spring sap rising and no chance to get out in the garden and burn off some testosterone? It's what Ma used to call 'a case of too many cocks on one muck heap'.
Can I make a suggestion - let's either have a vote on who's the chief cock, or agree to leave each other alone?
Repeated childish behaviour is getting tedious.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
For some wholsome viewing, I can strongly recommed this DVD. it features a true gardener in the form of Harry Dodson.....(like the sainted Geoff Hamilton) the likes we may never see again.
David K Am glad of any gardening on TV as i don't watch much else if you don't like it turn channel or switch off. What about our money you keep going on about getting wasted on all the other rubbish that's on TV don't hear you knocking those programmes.

I'm quite happy to discuss the program (or other gardening matters) without resorting to personal comments.

loved Geoff and it was down to his enthusiasm that I got interested in gardening. Am I the only one who finds Carol annoying?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It must be so difficult when you have to be up so early, to run the boards.

Listen to Dove, fellers!
Thanks for the link, David K. I will definitely have a look.

Please do, you'll enjoy every moment....I promise!
PS ....please take time to read the reviews.
Well said Dove and, in my opinion, Brumbull's contributions has enhanced the board and I certainly don't feel he runs it.
Good job Nooj isn't around David.
