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.

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.

And my pigs are dressed for flying...... Only their mother would love
either of them.

I like Costa's enthusiasm and recycling and I like the ethnic gardens Vasili
visits and all that food the gardener's produce.

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.

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

That all depends on where you live. Besides, I love carrots.
