The Beechgrove Garden

[Jeanied]

No offence taken Mac - now what's your castle like?

Here it is......haven't had one's chums round for a while so going to have to round up the local serfs to shift the snow!

[Jeanied]

Nice one Mac!

Look at it this way Mac...by the time I get round to doing it after seeing something a gardening show...its all too late; whereas you have enough time to prepare.

Nice country pad.

The point i was making is that just about every other gardening programme goes by mid to south of England seasons which makes it quite hard to work out when those of us in the north (including north of England too) should be planting or pruning etc.... I had also just watched the Grow Your Own Drugs prog which was going on about growing bananas etc.. outside.....
....

Went to a talk last night (in Aberdeen) and the gent suggested that if we successionally planted sweet peas and runner beans from now onwards, we could be picking them till October/November.

There were some very unseemly snorts from the row behind me, for some reason. (I wouldn't know why, not being a very experienced gardener... )

Hmm - well it was nice for us south - mouthers to find out how to get one's head gardener out with one's house party to brush the snow orf one's topiary before it gets ruined! How the other half live.

Nice one hunnie saves us getting the hunters and Barbour dirty.

I watched beechgroove, but wasn't impressed at all. bit of a let down as not much tips and it was all wait and see what happens. ok i did find the potting bit intresting and how to re-use your pots. And I did enjoy the garden with all the snow. But oh my shocked by seeing the damage of what snow can do to such an established garden!
