Does anyone have a favourite programme? Gardeners' World has definitely
improved this year, but I must admit I find the new Horticultural
Channel programme very enjoyable.



I still miss Charlie Dimmock...


HGTV should now simply be called HTV. They had the best garden shows. I
miss "Gardener Diary", "Rebeca's Garden" and the "Garden By The Yard".
These were my favorite shows. The Garden Guy tried to do his show on the
Internet and gave up on it. http://www.gardenerguy.com/. Sad to see him
go.

Create channels: Victory Garden fell apart it and became lousy. Garden
Smart was all about Glamorous Public gardens. Right now "P Allen Smith"
show may be the only one left that has some interest.

The show I liked the most are all gone. The "How To" shows are what I miss
the most. I did not care much for the show and tell shows. Some day I hope
a dedicated Garden Channel may show up with the very old reruns of the
Victory Garden. It sucked with Jammie Dreary running the show. The old days
it was dealing with the simple back yard gardens which I liked, not the not
so useful grandiose gigantic public for show gardens.
