Joe Swift and his allotment

[Lady Jana Muck]

If anyone is interested Joe Swift starts looking for his allotment tonight according to the BBC site

"Monty Don sows colourful annuals for the summer, Joe Swift starts looking for an allotment in London and Carol Klein is at her home in Devon making her own garden a little greener."

Did anyone watch? Is it worth me doing the 'watch again' thing? Or was it as dire as everyone seemed to fear?

Twas only the beginning of his quest, but I enjoyed the programme - I realise I am prolly in a minority here

Panic not, they didn't even show you the allotment! Whetting our whistles for next week they say.

All looked very clean and tidy what they did show though, and he said he had been clearing it for 3 months.

I enjoyed the programme dont normally watch it but it was good

I thought it was much better than the four that they have already shown but poor old Monty still managed to get back into the long border.

Good thing was that he also did some veggie stuff and even managed to get fruit bushes planted out.

Carol was as entheusiastic as ever, I always like to see her when she starts on about saving seeds, dividing plants etc, one of my favourite things to do in a garden.

Edit: But Joe gets to pick and choose which plot he gets, now that was interesting.

Ah the power of our licence fee

Hopefully it will be an interesting addition to what had become a slightly flagging format
