Yes, but even at its best there was never enough information. They spawned a
host down south at Calloway Gardens, but there was never enough information for
the mid-section or the southern gardeners.

I have no idea what it is about now. It's trying to compete with the "how-to"
programs on HGTV and I think Russell Morash (Marion's husband and producer) has
finished his term in gardening breakout shows.

I liked Peter Seabrook, or as you called him, "the old geezer." He was doing
his tours well before Audrey Hepburn did a series of several shows.

I remember when The Victory Garden first appeared on PBS in Seattle, I was
glued to the set for each episode with pad and pencil in hand. As it evolved
I hung in there during the time Roger Swain was there. I couldn't stand
Marion. I saw no point in the old geezer doing his travelogues to foreign
gardens. If I wanted that I'd have tuned into Audrey Hepburn's series on the
world's gardens. I've watched it about twice since Roger left and haven't
paid any attention to it since. Too bad, it WAS a great show.

Besides just being curious I'd like to know if you do watch it what do you
think of the new cast members? I miss the old ones - especially Marian in
the
kitchen. But I'm sure they are still re-running the older episodes.
