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.

The Victory Garden hasn't been the same since PBS sold it to
Time-Life. Roger Swain told me that's when he left, he knew they
would ruin it, and they have.

I liked Roger Swain (btw, have you read his books?) but some his co-hosts
were the pits. Crockett was pretty darn good and a hard act to follow.
