A hot day here in The Netherlands today. Temperatures of up to around 30 degrees expected!
Here is today's harvest .
First the new episode of Garden Time. This time with the following items...
A visit to the Rose Garden Store, learn how to deter squirrels, where you can get your soil tested, visit a vintage flea market, see some plants to attract birds and butterflies to your garden, visit a garden railroad, learn about hot tubs in the garden and get a sample of berries, brews and BBQ. We also have the tips of the month, learn about a local veggie website and learn about visualscaping.
Silence ça pousse has items about beans, visits the garden of Samarès Manor on Jersey, helps someone with a problem in the garden and meets people who try to get children interested in nature and gardening.
And Berlin's local broadcaster RBB had almost a whole day of garden programmes yesterday. They rummaged through their archives and came up with some beauties. Several of them are on their website.
The first one is a sort of history of cottage gardens and gardens of old farm houses. I absolutely love this one .
And finally a TV film, Not a documentary, but fiction with some of Germany's best-loved TV actors. The story is about a widower who owns a small nursery. He's driven out of business by a large GC and even has to rent out part of his home to survive.Without a job he gets bored and gets up to all sorts of things.
Grey but dry here at the moment. Sun forecast for later though
Here are the latest links to garden programmes on the web. First the Belgian Jardins et Loisirs. The visited Newby Hall Gardens in Yorkshire, a garden in Belgium, and have an item about bonsai. Plant of the week is Pulmonaria Samurai.
Only one new programme today. The Austrian Natur im Garten is back . This time they visit a garden in Limbach, where a German couple made their garden at an old farm house. They are particularly interested in old varieties of plants.
I hope it won't be as cold here today as it was yesterday. Temperatures were only around 15 degrees, brrr.
Here are today's links.
First the German Querbeet. This time it's all about open days at private gardens, the enjoyment you get from gardening and how it helps to keep you fit and healthy. They also have an item about making a heart-shaped wreath from lavender and other flowers to put on your front door.
And I also found the latest edition of the French Un Jardin en Nous. No idea what it's about, because I haven't watched it yet, and they don't give info about it on YouTube.
First the latest episode of Decouvertes Jardins. This time with items about old roses, repotting a lemon tree, and they visit some gardens, including the new water garden at Versailles.
My local Dutch garden programme is back on YouTube too. This time they visit a garden where the owner grows all sorts of edible weeds, look at cucumbers and spinach, visit the garden of an old country estate, and a bee keeper.
And here in The Netherlands everyone suddenly seems to have become obsessed with convincing people not to pave their whole gardens, but get rid of paving and grow plants.
An excellent idea of course, but weird how suddenly local authorities, DIY stores,GCs and TV stations all seem obsessed by it.
A regional broadcaster in the north of the country even has come up with a series of 5 short make-over programmes called Tegels eruit, Tuin erin. That means pavers out, garden in. Here is the first episode...
Here is today's harvest. First the latest episode of Oklahoma Gardening with the following.. -Rust Disease in Kentucky Bluegrass with Turfgrass Specialist Dennis Martin -The Benefits of Mulching the Garden and Garden Tool Favorites with former host Ray Campbell -How to use Your Smart Phone to Learn about the Gardens on the OSU Stillwater Campus with former host Steve Dobbs -Identify the Culprit Behind Spots in the Bermudagrass -Creating a Vertical Planter from a Jello Mold with Brenda Sanders
Still cold here in The Netherlands, but dry at the moment.
Saturday again, so that means Gardening Australia will appear on the web in a few hours. And this is what's on this week's show.
The Natural Garden: John visits a garden that is inspired by the Australian bush and talks to its designer, Sam Cox, who specialises in naturalistic gardens.
FAQs - Winter Fertilising | Compost Booster: Josh answers a question about using fertiliser in winter and Jerry shows how to keep your compost pile working a treat.
The Patch - Perfect Soil: Tino's in The Patch showing how to create deep, fertile and free draining soil.

Bare Root Planting: Sophie shows how to save money planting bare rooted trees.
A Tricky Spot: Josh shows how to overcome one of trickiest spots in gardens - south facing aspects that get deep shade for most of the year, but searing overhead sun in the summer.
Planting a Seed: Jane checks out a garden run by the Salvation Army to provide young people with a relaxing and inspiring place to grow.
There don't seem to be any new garden programmes on the web at all today , but here are the links to some oldies. They are from the German regional broadcaster WDR and the programmes were shown last year. Unfortunately they decided not to continue the programme this year.
