This is the second season for the "re-vamped" Victory Garden. If you
like it, I think that you are in the minority. All of my gardeners
friends hate the format, can't stand the host and want someone like Jim
Crocket as host and REAL gardening information.

I have my satellite DVR set up to record all the new shows but usually I
watch about 10 minutes of the show and delete it. They just aren't
worth watching. There is just too much "non-gardening" stuff now.

My favorite gardening show is "Gardening by the Yard" with Paul James on
HGTV. There is LOTS of good, useful information for even old timers
like me.

Actually Kip is dull and does too much of a "look at this!" program
without much useful information included. Too bad Gardening with Cisco
doesn't have the national exposure rather than just a Northwest show.
That guy's the embodiment of charm with a knowledgeably infectious delight
in every aspect of gardening.

is pretty far from me here in Greeneville which is considered part of
the "Tri-Cities" part of upper northeastern Tennessee, their analog
transmitter was hit by lightening in June and they had been allowed to
transmit their programs in the new HD.......sigh........I missed the
abilities to get PBS clearly and beautifully through my Dtv which I'd
relied upon for these 15 years. Living in an area where I couldn't
just plug in my t.v. and get basic channels including the PBS was a

back though, I haven't had the opportunity to view the newer Victory
Garden. I have though noticed some of the Russell Morass crew's since
his leaving Victory Garden and some of his signature programs on Ask

Swain called in for large jobs) Nope, my all time favorites on
Victory was hands down Roger Swain and Jim Wilson....and the rest of
the regulars.

I adore Paul James, but can't find where Gardening by the Yard is at
since HGTV has sadly changed it's good format to the stuff I'm just
not interest in. Yes, I like to know how to do some things about my
house and interior, but not shoved so much into my face. It would be
nice since the Food Network spun off of HGTV if they'd spin off a
GARDENING Network for us gardening junkies and run ALL the gardening
shows. I even miss Gardener's Journal outa Canada, Erica Glasner's
Gardener's Diary which could re-run even today and I'd enjoy watching
them, record them on c.d instead of the VHS I lost the two boxes of
during the divorce..........and even pick up where the show ended and
do some follow up's even if some of the original show's gardeners have
gone on to their rest, but to re-run the shows, and show how things
changed for either the best or even the worst as it's something we've
all come across at some time or other. I recall one of our gardening
neighbors here on the newsgroup losing a home she'd gardened for over
20 years due to the property not selling to them and all her work
being destroyed. We've heard or seen or experienced this ourselves
either personally or indirectly and it wouldn't be out of line to show
this on follow up's to her incredible show. Yep, I know she had a
child, but surely with the passion she had..........and all those
gardening shows I watched on the new Discovery Channel back years
ago........Backyard Gardening. Gardening Naturally with Barbara
Damrosch and her husband, Elliot Coleman who seriously gardened in
Maine and despite that I didnt' live in Maine but in Nashville, and
didn't have access to harvest and scrounging oyster shells and seaweed
for my compost piles and didn't always need walls of water to garden
four seasons, I learned huge amounts from these people. And there was
a show I adored but was brief because the satellite carrier dropped
the different PBS called The Perennial Gardener and it was
awesome........to have a Gardening channel would suit me fine. as I'm
sure you agree.........

To this day, because someone updated my subscription, I still get
Garden Design magazine, even though I'm not interested in the
"furniture" and designer aspects of how the magazine has gone.
They've dropped the neat quotations on the bottom of the pages that
related to the articles until midway through the magazine, but someone
gave me a lot of subscription time and I still get it. I deliberatly
keep my subscriptions to Horticulture and Fine Gardening and Green
Prints/The Weeder's Digest because they are informative and still
incredible publications that I learn from and enjoy reading. Now
because of my mind set that has always been there, James has
discovered Grist magazine and I'll subscribe to it for us, and
consider even returning to Mother Earth News......I'll never get
Organic Gardening because of how it radically changed, but I learned
from it due in part because of how hands on it always had been,
through the editorship of Mike McGrath (who has this neat NPR program
called You betcha Garden! that I remember to listen to on Saturday's
now since I live where I can HEAR it) and death of Robert
Rodale........

Things sometimes change for the better or worse, and we just hafta
take it in stride.
Good to see you Cheryl! I'm winter gardening (another great HGTV
gardening show as I recall.....was it "The Winter Gardener?" and it
was how to keep things that had to come in for the winter going well?
I recall seeing an episode or several about houseplants and
such......enjoyed it because I still have tropicals and cacti and
succulents that satisfy my gardening soul during the winter
months........in fact, I have a "desert rose" (can't remember the
Latin name, so don't flame me right now, I'll locate the name and
throw it out there if I can later on) blooming on the back porch and a
spiney agavae that is sending out two bloom spikes out of
season....the back porch where it lives with all the other cacti and
succulents and clivia's is cold....I might have to actually bring in a
few to keep from them being TOO cold! (it's drafty and despite facing
east, south and west with windows on all three sides, the draftiness
is a concern for me.........I need to invest in a small kerosene
heater.......)

It was SO much better and was such a surprise to me .... This episode was
vertical gardening and was decent. Was it Jim Crockett - heck no, but it did
approach the level of Roger Swain.


I adore Paul James and hope he continues for a very long time.

I just did a search for you on my satellite receiver and here is what
came up for Paul James' show, "Gardening by the Yard" on HGTV:

Sunday, Nov. 23, 7:30 AM, repeat from 8/5/06
Sunday, Nov. 23, 8:00 AM, repeat from 12/1/07

New shows have been running on Sundays and I set up my DVR to record all
of them.

Another program that I liked that used to run on the local PBS station
is "P Allen Smith Garden Home". The local PBS station only shows
repeats of the show since P Allen sold out and now has a sponsored show
(with lot of ads). His new show is called "P Allen Smith's Garden" but
no station in my market carries it.

Thanks = I've EST too, but Sunday AM's are rink time and we've never gone
the DVR route. I'll Just have wait and catch re-runs. And if I happen to be
home and I have laundry to fold, I'll watch VG. Otherwise, no big deal

I used to watch it, but decided it wasn't best use of my time, as
there is very little content interspersed among way too many
commercials.

That's too bad. He had a good show when he was on PBS. I still watch
the repeats sometime.

I guess that when NBC Universal bought the Weather Channel and they
kicked off his "garden spots" and he lost his PBS program he had to do
something else. I've never seen his new show but, from several people,
I've heard exactly what you said, "way too many commercials".

I liked the older version of Victory Garden better also. However, if you
have cable tv try and see if you have the CREATE channel. They have
several garden shows: Victory Garden, Garden Smart, P. Allen Smith and
Cultivating Life. The only one I record each week to DVD is Victory
Garden.

I record about 5 hours of shows on one DVD disk each week at home and
watch them at work during my lunch time on a laptop computer. It works
for me

Actually, CREATE is a PBS digital subchannel. So, if your PBS station
carries it you can receive it over the air with a TV with a digital
tuner or a digital converter box. As Dan says it may be available on
cable but, on most systems, it is on the over priced digital tier. Both
of our local PBS station replaced CREATE with WORLD but I'm hoping that
one of them will have the common sense (it seem like a lot of that is
missing from PBS stations lately) to add it back.

Actually, CREATE is a PBS digital subchannel. So, if your PBS station
carries it you can receive it over the air with a TV with a digital
tuner or a digital converter box. As Dan says it may be available on
cable but, on most systems, it is on the over priced digital tier. Both
of our local PBS station replaced CREATE with WORLD but I'm hoping that
one of them will have the common sense (it seem like a lot of that is
missing from PBS stations lately) to add it back.

Yes, CREATE is a PBS channel over the air as a digital station in my
area. I was about to add such information, but did not. Glad you did

CREATE is part of my digital basic package, the lowest cost digital
package. The WORLD channel is on a higher tiered package which I do not
have. I have thought about getting one of those free digital converter
boxes to see if I can pull in such programs. Since I have not purchased
one of those digital TV's, yet. The cable converter box will do for now.

Enjoy Life ... Dan
