Thanks all, doesn't look like I missed much. The 5
minutes I saw were mainly indoor gardening.


No it mostly outside - and some cooking as well.


The basic premise is to get as much fruit and veg out
of the garden, whilst having the plants integrated
into the whole garden, rather than in a separate
plot.


It was ok, more of an inspirational program, than
hard facts how to do it type thing - which I don't
have *a problem with. But would have like a bit more
info about some things.


Perhaps things will improve as the growing season
unravels. I'll record next weeks'.


You could always watch it on iPlayer

Thanks Chris I'd forgotten you could view again online.
I'll record future programs and f/forward thru' hens,
dog and willow etc. I see it was shot last year and I
like the idea of seeing fruit/veg being planted and
harvested.
Some of the tips were good, I'm growing mang tout and
broad beans for the first time. Didn't realise you had
to pinch off the BB tops. Agreed more fine detail would
be handy, but maybe they think that fine detail is
GWorld territory.

You dont have to pinch out the tops of Broad Beans, but if you do then
you can cook them as a green veg, they taste of...............
Broad beans.
