Gardeners World should be pulled
"michael" wrote in message ... I cant avoid watching Gardeners World,since it seems part of our Friday evening ritual.However,last night the programme was awful.Making raised beds using a curved design,and requiring individual timber pieces was just ridiculous.Also the silly 30 min tasks got sillier this week with trying to make roof gardens over sheds and guinea pig hutchs.In the spice bed plants were thrown in at random,with few described.The only interesting thing was the sowing of green seed for the propagating of primroses,but since primroses seed themselves naturally,even this was hardly worth it. The content now is awful,and I am afraid to say that I think the series should be pulled. Michael As a newbie gardener, I've stopped watching it. It does nothing for me. It's got basic errors in it that even I can spot. It's got errors & omissions that have been pointed out by more experienced gardeners than I - which mean that as a newbie, I was being given duff information on Auntie's supposed flagship gardening programme. Then there is the delightful Beechgrove Garden on BBC Scotland. It is what GW should be like. It is full of valuable information and is fun without being patronising. Not being in Scotland I can get it via BBC iPlayer after it is broadcast (an option not avaiable to those in forn parts) or I can watch when it is broadcast on the relevant Sky channel. http://www.beechgrove.co.uk/ |
