The Scottish gardening programme "Beechgrove Garden" is much better.

You picked a bad week to watch it :-(
They were off on a jaunt to a 'community garden' and there was precious
little practical gardening.
Try another episode when thay're back at Beechgrove and see what you think.

gardening progs are in 2009.

It's the BBC2 Scotland equivalent of Gardeners' World and is, IMO better
than the current GW. As it's BBC2 Scotland, it's not broadcast down here in
softie-southernerland, so if we want to see it we either have to wait unbtil
it comes up in BBC iPlayer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search/?q=beechgrove

or if you have Sky, you can get it when it is broadcast in Scotland on Sky
channel 990.

Not always! There's been one episode of the current series omitted from
iPlayer :-(

It make s a refreshing change from assuming that everyone still
communicates in Latin. Even the so called gardening experts cannot agree
what plants are called in a language that 99.999% of the British public
cannot understand.

The programme truly reflects the poor regard that the professionals in
the gardening industry have for the general pubic.

Alan I have to agree with you on that one and it has 'annoyed' me for years
how they show off that they know the Latin name for even a common plant. A
Daisy is a Daisy and everyone from a four year old knows what we are talking
about. Why chuck in a Latin name, except to show off?

No it isn't. There are literally dozens of plants that get called
Daisy. Daisy means very little.

Please don't bother Mike with facts, Des. It gets him SO confused.
