Gardeners World Special!

[selfraising]

Hi all!
Just in case you didn't know there's a Gardeners World Special on Friday 13th March called The Plant Addicts with Carol Klein. I do like Carol and in some ways wished she'd got the job instead of Toby Buckland. She's so enthusiastic, it rubs off.

I like carols enthusiasm but not Gardeners World........she should do more of lets grow veg!

[BarleySugar]

I'm afraid her enthusiasm is a bit much for me, and OH is convinced everytime she come on she's eating something (I think he got that idea from Let's Grow Veg), but I'll still watch the special. Thanks for pointing it out.

A few weeks ago now,I read somewhere over on The Gardeners World website that Carol had stated that she did not want the main presenters job on GW because it would have meant spending too much time away from her own garden and nursery. Which is why presumably they have been going down there to film her more than at Berryfields of late. Now they have announced that they are going to build a new garden and not be at Berryfields anymore,I bet Carol is delighted that she did'nt take the big job.

Is this just people that are adicted to growing all plants or the somewhat scary ones who are obsessed with a particular variety? If it's the former then I'll probably watch but the other type scare me a bit by their single mindedness

I have never watched gardeners world as i am not into growing flowers buying flowers yes but thats it out of curiosity do they ever show growing veg.i can remember watching a program on growing veg last year but that was a serial type of half an hour show ran for about 6 episodes is there anything like that on tv/sky now

GW has more than just flowers featured - they do veg as well, probably not as much as 'we' would like but they do cover it.

And the new site (see GW moving thread) is (rumour has it) going to be giving over to much more veg growing - hoorah

Thanks for the heads up, have set my V+ box to record it

One man she will be talking to is Roy Lancaster unfortunately this man can waffle for England and thats just about one plant. When he starts there's no stopping him. Enthusiastic he maybe but I'd rather watch paint dry. Which is a shame considering how long we have had to wait for the series to start.

... Enthusiastic he maybe but I'd rather watch paint dry. ..

oh now now Sis - I bet he never once mentions 'The Long Borders'

good point - they should be reading your piece(s) in 'the other garden press', excellent work, I love 'em

Thanks Piskie, glad you like it, didn't know anyone bothered reading it! I do have a problem in buying/growing enough plants to fill a stately home garden & only having a teeny garden to put them in!
