...but I can say no more!

*taps nose

well done you

[tattieman]

It should be a good show if it is all from scratch. I am looking forward to it coming on and see the potato features. Fresh start for everyone on there I hope.
Cheers piskieinboots.

Please Tattie man...say there will be onions. I love onions.

[HeyWayne]

I reckon Alys knows her onions.

Please Tattie man...say there will be onions. I love onions.

and parsnips - please parsnips, we need parsnip info - lots of it

[tattieman]

I never asked about the other veg I just asumed they would be doing a more grow your own kind of programme with top tips from the experts. The thing is that it is probably the basics that people need to learn. It is like being qualified to use Sage accounts programme but not being able to turn a computer on if that makes sense.
More disappointments occur due to the basics being wrong I have found after talking to many people.

Ive missed gw, when does it start?
I dont mind who hosts it, no one will match up to monty but the programe is good anyway.

I liked the last series with Toby, much better than the ones with Monty (which caused me to stop watching) but still prefer Alan or Geoff really. Looking forward to more GYO stuff as it's so much more applicable to what a lot of people are doing now, not just on here if you believe the info about seeds sales (although obviously seed sales don't necessarily turn into plant growth but at least it does mean people are interested)

Presenters are very conjective, like marmite really you love or loathe them. Monty was a bit pretentious and preached the whole organic, peat free way of doing things but unless you have the resource, time and space to make "berryfields no 2" compost its always a struggle.

Toby is new to it, a successful gardener in his own right and seems a bit more pragmatic and all encompasing to me.

Geof Hamilton will always be the daddy for me.

Alys is Head Gardener at Berryfields.

Has anyone read her book The Thrifty Gardener?

I got her boook out of the library a few weeks ago as I thought being 'thrifty' I didn't want to spend £16.99 on it! It's useful especially for people on a budget & new to gardening. She covers lots os subjects & suggests different ways of growing in pots, containers, window boxes & rented gardens, ideal for students, new home owners etc. There are practical projects & advice on skip-diving etc., it made me laugh when Alys says in it 'wear long trousers, gloves & sturdy shoes when climbing in skips' beside a picture of her in a skip wearing a very pretty short cotton dress & pumps (she said it was a very hot day!)

[Eco-Chic]

Cheers SueA. I'm waiting for publication of the paperback version @ £6.99 which is due out in April.

Glad to hear Alys (gardening mans crumpet) will be moving with the programme. I can put up with Buckland but all I hope is the new garden is as far away from Carol Klien as possible.

[Eco-Chic]

I like Carol Klein, Toby and Alys and I'm looking forward to the new series.

I liked Alan Titchmarsh until he got involved in that rubbish makeover stuff with Charlies Wobbling and Tommy Lardarse.
