Roy?

My vote would go to someone like Timothy Walker but I doubt he would be
interested

Well whoever get the job I don't suppose he/she will be universally liked
but it makes an amusing thread.
We could have Kim Wilde and she could sing us a song or two and she does not
seem to be so up herself like some of the others :-)

I suppose it's a question of finding someone with some design abilities but
mainly with real plant knowledge. But that's just my view. As you say,
everyone will have a pov on whoever get the job!


It the main problem with a 30 min one size fits all program, There really
should be a beginners slot with lots of ideas, an alotment/veg gardening
half hour and something on actual gardens. you can't begin to please
everyone in 30 mins, I liked geoff Hamilton but quickly tired of being
shown how to plant a tree!!
With all the channels they now have you would have thought it doable

If they're clever, they will have a beginner's programme for those wishing
to grow their own food. Sales of veg. Seeds have soared in the last few
years and now outstrip sales of flower seeds. Something that teaches the
newbie right from scratch, with or without a greenhouse etc., would probably
go very well if it was put on at a time when young people are home from work
and can watch it. And it should be seasonal too, IMO, as in "it's March and
these are the seeds that should be going in now and in two weeks time you'll
be doing x, y and z".
