Len, you might not know that Don Burke had a 3-hour gardening program
on the radio on Sat and Sun here in Sydney for quite a few years before
he moved over to television.

He was also a grevillea breeder for years, and has been writing gardening
books for a fair while. The Lazy Gardener is his -- think it was written a
good 20 years ago. Saw a new book of his today called "indigenous" -- about
his native garden. Anyone who promotes natives must be all right!

I heard him speak a few years ago at Mt Annan (the Australian Plants Society
Sale day) and was quite impressed. He's an eco-nut like most of us gardeners,
but probably can't be as outspoken on commercial TV as Peter Cundall can be on
ABC.
