Gardeners World TV programme

Megansmum

Hi All,

Gardeners world starts again this Friday, 8.30pm on BBC2 (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland only).
Saturday 5.30pm in Wales.

Episode 1
1/27. Toby recommends snowdrops and tomatoes, while Joe Swift gets the fruit garden under way.

I know it's not like it used to be, but hopefully there will be some good tips for newbies like me ! Last year I recorded it and fast forwarded through the bits that weren't relevant to me!

I hope this helps someone!

They were supposed to be going back to the old format, AFAIK.

Still got "Carol from Glebe Cottage"

Why do the BBC still spend ££ trecking to Devon to film 3 minutes of this woman's rainbow hair. Alys can do more!

That made me laugh Furny as I thought the same about 3 years ago when I started getting into gardening! But over the last few years it has given me lots of tips although like Megansmum I usually record it and fast forward through all the (IMO) boring bits

Same here - I'm glad I'm not the only one - I usually watch 15 - 20 minutes of the whole program.
They are on about changing it back to be more like it used to be (thanks ScratchandSniff-->[X]) - can't come soon enough!

Funny - I used to like watching it with my parents!! But then they ran a market garden, had a huge veg patch plus it was Geoff Hamilton in those days - what a wonderful presenter he was - sigh.

I realised how old I was getting last night, when I was chatting to a old school friend about Masterchef, 15 years ago we were two teenagers talking about Quamtum leap, girls, football...etc, Now I find myself getting excited about Gardens World.

Just text my mate about GW and it's made his day too

Can anyone fill me in on what Joe said about planting autumn raspberries?? I missed the program, can't use iplayer as broadband too slow.
