ubereglu Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I did find the programme useful. Especially about the tips with the runner beans on the first show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I love any programme with veg growing, but it is a bit 'patchy' with not enough focus on growing veggies! Will still watch every week though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 This occurred to me this week - I'd like more help with how to grow my own veggies! But I still enjoyed it and will keep watching too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 She's not very hot on hard facts is she? Perhaps it is a ploy to get you to buy her book? .......and the lady with the new garden - they went back to see and she'd planted it all up and we didn't learn anything from her. A pleasant half hour - but nothing much to learn. I hope it provides some encouragement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I managed to miss it! Was mopping floors and forgot the time I know what I'd rather be doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 She's not very hot on hard facts is she? Perhaps it is a ploy to get you to buy her book? I wondered that too A pleasant half hour - but nothing much to learn. I hope it provides some encouragement? It does encourage me, but mine will be more in pots than beds, I have got out my books: "The Container specialist" and "The Edible Container Garden" with a view to making a plan.... Last year I knew we were moving in the summer so it didn't encourage me to really get going.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 ...and we know what your excuse will be this summer, don't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 No!!! I'm determined Good excuse to have the baby out in the fresh air, and also be weaned on nice home grown veg...... (we shall see...... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 The swedish girl proved there is no excuse for not growing veg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
