Has anyone been watching PBS's Victory Garden this season? Everyone
from
last season except Kip (the gardner) is gone. The new hosts are just
horrible. The programs seem to be all over the place and most of them
have not been worth watching. There was one where the host spent
almost
the entire post bending metal for a potting design. What a waste!

PBS had a great program in the Victory Garden but, IMO they ruined it.
They need to go back to the good old days when they had great hosts and
spent their time on interesting gardening subjects.

Have you been watching it since the original, with Jim Crockett? He
understood continuity and focus.


Jim Crockett's book may be about. I have it somewhere but I can't give
you ISBD # if it had one.

Worth a search!

www.powells.com usually has a few used copies.

I really should keep my copy in a fire safe. And, it's one of the few books
I'd never loan to anyone, unless they were prepared to die if they lost it.
