Welcome return of Gardeners World

Well tonight saw the return of Gardeners World, although sadly it wont be on next week.  I thought that a programme almost exclusively devoted to fruit growing would be boring as I dont have room for fruit trees, but I found it very interesting.  Particularly the stories about the communities that have their own orchards – how idyllic!!!

The new format seemed interesting, particularly Carol Klein doing propogating from her own garden.  I love trying to propogate plants and am a real novice so shall watch this with interest.  I do wonder however if with Joe Swift doing his allotment and Monty’s well known love of growing vegies that the programme wont be too vegie orientated.  I suppose the producers are following the growing trend and many new gardeners are those that have taken on allotments and want to grow their own.  Time will tell. I thought the inclusive of the Head Gardener (and her dog) was good and hope it continues.

I will be sending off for two packets of the trial seeds although I doubt I will get any if previous experience is anything to go by.  Anyway, I grow Cosmos every year and have some seeds from last year’s crop but it would be nice to try the white ones with pink edges.  Will have to wait and see if a packet turns up in the post.
