getting out before he winds up dead ?
they (TV gardeners) all seem to die early due to excessive hard
work .
how many are gone now?


I switched on just before the programme finished, and after viewing
a few
BBC gardening websites, I still don't know why Mr. T has to sell up?
Could
it be that the BBC are hoping to recoup most of the money they have
spent on
plants and other items at Barleywood?

I think the property was Alan's and did not belong to the BBC !!
He lived there already when the series started IIRC

I read somewhere that he wants to create one more garden - to his own
liking.
And the new one will be on the level and not on a 1 in 4 hillside -
possibly a consideration as he gets older :~))

I have not been a great fan of his, but the program last night was
interesting and the behind the scenes shots were fascinating :~)
