Default Grow your own veg!


"Andy" wrote It's a 'lifestyle' programme, made
to look good and suck the wannabe
gardener's in. Not much cop for the serious gardener, but it hits its
mark. Hence all the shots of children climbing trees, robins eating out of
hands, rural veg gardens and the grainy out of focus 8mm cine film linking
shots. The occasional music is well chosen too. Good-looking, arty,
feel-good stuff, and well done IMO for its intended target. Better
sticking to Monty Don or what have you for the more serious stuff.

I agree that it's not very 'in depth' info but there are a lot of things I
like about the prog:
Carol gives one hope that not all ladies of a 'certain age' are grumpy....
Her enthusiasm is catching
Wrinkles can look OK
I love the music - find myself remembering stuff I'd forgotten ....
The robin is sweet - wish mine was as tame

It actually makes me want to grow my own
