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...

so does my husband... LOL


there is NOTHING here (in the metro Boston/DirecTV offerings) that is
worth tuning in for on a regular basis.


we liked Ground Force when it was on
until they switched the main guy with
someone else. a couple of good seasons
there to watch if you can find them.

now they all have gone into crafts,
cooking, etc. which is fine, but to me
if i want that stuff i'll watch a show
like that instead of a gardening show.

We all loved Ground Force. Wouldn't mind a chance to see Charlies Army
again either. And if the BBC is still making any form of Ground Force it
would still be better than the dreck I have access to currently.

(as an aside - I just fond Netflicks has the "Best of Ground Force
Garden Rescues and I'm going to see if my son will get it for me.


Thanks for the suggestion, I just ordered it.


Unless it's Martha Stewart, there are no craft shows, no get your hands
dirty gardening shows

Bush's 3rd term: Obama plus another elective war
Bush's 4th term: we can't afford it

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
