Hi Bob,

I agree with a lot you say - and I did very much enjoy seeing the kiddies
being allowed to get their hands dirty in several episodes.

I think Carol would be a much better presenter if she didn't overdo her
enthusiam... but as she's establishing I suppose it's understandable.

Roy Lancaster, is at the very top of the tree - Carol's on her way up there.
I hope things go well for her... and that next time she gets a richer
programme.

Best wishes,

Keith

Oh dear... :-(

Well Keith, as someone with a little knowledge of growing one's own I find
the program rather entertaining in the almost childlike enthusiasm for the
subject, like the look on a child's face digging their first self grown
spud etc., wonderful to behold.
I also like Carol as a presenter and find her enthusiasm infectious (just
like Roy Lancaster). She does know about growing (pretty) stuff, has done
it for years, made a living out of it and built a business around it so
also has my respect.
Sounds awful but I actually didn't expect to learn much because it's on at
peak viewing time, a time when no program will be shown that might appeal
to a severely restricted audience like a serious down and in-depth
gardening program about veg growing would.
If it enthuses only one person to take up the challenge of growing their
own I say "Good on yer Carol".

And the arthritis in her hands ( did anyone else notice?) must be bloody
painful and still she smiles.
