Just caught the last 5 mins. Is it any good. The
presenter seems familiar, but can't place her?

I recorded it last night. Presenter is Alys Fowler ( I always think
of her as Alys the stick, she is so slim) from Gardener's World. Hope
it is as good as it promises to be.

Rather early to judge. I found it less than inspiring although there
were suggestions of promising future programmes. I hope it goes well.

As a one off it was a bit weak, I think as a series they are going to
struggle.

Thanks all, doesn't look like I missed much. The 5
minutes I saw were mainly indoor gardening. Perhaps
things will improve as the growing season unravels.
I'll record next weeks'.

No it mostly outside - and some cooking as well.

The basic premise is to get as much fruit and veg out of the garden,
whilst having the plants integrated into the whole garden, rather than
in a separate plot.

It was ok, more of an inspirational program, than hard facts how to do
it type thing - which I don't have a problem with. But would have like
a bit more info about some things.

Thanks Chris I'd forgotten you could view again online.
I'll record future programs and f/forward thru' hens,
dog and willow etc. I see it was shot last year and I
like the idea of seeing fruit/veg being planted and
harvested.
Some of the tips were good, I'm growing mang tout and
broad beans for the first time. Didn't realise you had
to pinch off the BB tops. Agreed more fine detail would
be handy, but maybe they think that fine detail is
GWorld territory.

You dont have to pinch out the tops of Broad Beans, but if you do then
you can cook them as a green veg, they taste of...............
Broad beans.

Hi

I watched edible gardening to me It wasnt exactly about the veg which is why i wanted to catch it more about her if you ask me, not as good as i thought bit of a let down.

Not enough for a green veg, I only have six plants
which were surplus from a neighbour.
We're not great lovers of broad beans, but we're
blending a lot more soups these days, so they may make
a good thickening agent.
I must Google up some soup ideas, our cookbooks are a
bit lean in that department!

I never liked broad beans until I ate them fresh. Now I've got 2 rows of
plants cos we didn't get enough last year. :-)

I enjoyed it, and never knew you could use dried peas for producing
'pea shoots' for salad. Only needs one good tip per program to make it
worth watching.

Last week pea /bean family, next week Tomatoe.

Perhaps freshness is key or we may not have cooked them
long enough. I suppose you could allow some of the pods
to dry out on the plant and save the seed till next
year. Should be ok as long as they're not F1 hybrids.

Another neighbour gave me a dozen rhubarb chard seeds.
The seed looks similar to beetroot and are now
germinating in the g/house. I haven't tried swiss
chard, so no idea what taste to expect from rhubarb
chard. Apparently they're good in stir-fries.

I'd be interested in what tomato tips they have to
offer. The last 3 years I've grown them direct into the
g/house soil floor but the yield has been low.
Previously I'd had heavy crop from growbags but the
taste had been a bit 'watery'.
