I liked Roger Swain. He knew what he was doing. It was easy to believe
he actually gardened.

The new Australian host is wretched, and with episode themes running the
gamut from "Wet," "Dry," "Up," "Down," etc., the show can't help but
suck. The worst part is that Kip is virtually nonexistent this season.

The program has deteriorated into something like contemporary cooking
shows. It seems aimed toward people who like to have gardens rather than
grow them, just as cooking shows are now suited for those who want huge
kitchens with expensive professional accoutrement but are indifferent to
preparing food.


Hands on = wisdom
Reading About = knowledge

I know how to make pickles Vs doing it. We can eat the one but not the
other. Hot water for a dead pheasant why?
