  • Really enjoyed it. The bit about the shaded part of the garden was really good.

    the program wasn't recorded in Feb only the piece about snow drops, you can go on the website and find out about the program, presenters and download fact sheets

    Thanks little-ann, I got confused by the snowdrop piece, glad I was wrong. Anyway here is a couple of links and times to try and make up for my  misinformation.image

    runs from the 4th of april 7:30pm thursdays BBC2 Scotland and Sundays BBC2 at 9:30 am.

    The program clippings page looks useful http://www.thebeechgrovegarden.com/Programme-Clippings&pageNum_RS_videos=2&totalRows_RS_videos=25&id=Programme-Clippings

    Most of these are from last year so should be good for planning this year and they are open to viewers outside the UK! (I cant access iPlayer due to being in Ireland).

    Blackest, Sad isn't it ,If the Irish Gov' had agreed with the British Gov, and visa/versa about "Digital TV and Radio we would have had x border free community TV and radio

    It's not so bad really the whole of europe can recieve bbc 1,2,3,4 ceebies parliment news itv 1,2,3,4 ch4, more4, e4, film4, ch5 5* 5 usa and the +1's and cbs action reality, drama and horror. Cant get rte or any other irish channels except through digital Tv since they are encrypted! I have a hd box from lidl with a usb hard drive.  So i get to time shift and if i wanted too i could write programs out to a dvd.

    Only negatives are the tv guide is just now and next so recording is a bit awkward. As you need to know when to record. The iPlayer situation is kind of silly but it's mostly down to copyright and broadcast right issues. bit of a joke with the satellite 'leakage'Even funnier the irish papers list british channels as well as the native ones image

  • The problem corner they did in Rosyth is only 7 miles away from me. If anyone is near Edinburgh, there is a garden centre out by penicuik which has one of the presenters working there so you can go in and say hello. My dad has a natter regularly and even gets cheap plants from her. Think its his bantery sweet talk that wins him that privilege lol. I love it as its close to home and more in with whats happening up here. GW is great but so much further forward than us in the North.

    Its very informative and very helpful

    You would never get a garden as humble as the one in Rosyth on GW, yet that was much more informative and relevant to me than most of GW these days.  That's the Beechgrove difference!

    Enjoyed the first episode, but did anyone notice a desperately shivering Chris Beardshaw in the closing scene? Me thinks he needs to invest in some thermals.image
