Wot no Gardening programmes

I wouldn't mind seeing a nice garden programme. I haven't put the tv on for nearly a week - well there's no point is there ? I think I'll get rid of it. I'd be richer, and have more space in my living room :o)

This coming week there are repeats on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of Open Gardens programmes.
BBC2.... 1 pm - 1.30 pm.

I am with you on this Hywel hardly ever watch TV nothing worth viewing. Dont think I want want to watch gardening programes in the winter, prefer them when I can be active in the garden too.

I have taped quite a lot of gardening programmes over the years but I can't see them now since we went digital. I can't get my video to work :o( But I would like to see some nice programmes about plants - something like a series that the late Goeffrey Smith had years ago. It was a brilliant series.

I spent a while looking at all the pictures on GoY yesterday. That was lovely, with gardens to match any seen on TV. I must admit though that I feel quite angry sometimes when sport comes before ANYTHING. Gardening programmes have been put off because of a sports event over-running. Even the repeats of Open Gardens are put on at non-peak times. I can't believe that keen gardeneers are in a minority.

At the moment there are no garden programmes on sky and have not been any for quite a while, at one time they did have a station with just gardening on it all day long but that went a good 6-9mths ago, we should all get together some how and see if we can do something about it, know it will be waste of time but at least we will have tried.

We haven't got sky either, and I have to agree with Peter - why can't gardeners have some programmes in the winter? You can't tell me that they don't have access to huge archives to make new programmes!

ER ER......

You are not really missing anything by not having sky,as they are terrible for repeating programmes, they constantly show the same ones, when they are on they announce new programmes but really they have just changed channels around....Still put prices up tho...........

Agree with you Linclass keep saying i'm going to get rid as still only really watch 5main channels, got my phone with sky aswell.

Maybe you can find gardening programs that you can watch right on your computer..wouldn't hurt to do a search for them...I had no TV for a while and watched such things I was interested in on mine....

no TV so no gardening programmes or anything else and do not miss... Over 20 years since we had one now.

There are some days when ours doesn't get turned on at all, Mg. Husband likes the Nature programmes and horrible Jeremy Clarkson, though.

I do like to choose a nice DVD and settle down with that!

So do I Sprizthenry but watch on the laptop or we set up the digital projector and screen and have our own cinema experience.

I have to have SKY out of necessity (reception difficulties). Believe me, you're missing nothing by not having this. :-(.

Can get all the "fixes" I need right now, however, through catalogues, books, and GOY, of course. :-))

Mind you i went a bit mad in wyevale today , i managed to buy some flower seeds for 79p each.Carters brand , plus they were selling thompson and morgan and the duchy of cornwall seeds 50% off marked price, so i ended up buying about a dozen packets of seeds for the garden.Now all ive got to do is work out where i can put them.

That will keep you occupied, lol!! Sounds like you won't have time for TV anyway!
