Very cold and wet here in The Netherlands again. But I do have a few new links for today.
First the German Gartenzeit. This week again with many items from the BUGA garden show. Roses, delphiniums, water lilies, Plant of the Year 2015: Carex, and more.
And I found two programmes on 3SAT. They are not really garden programmes, but I am definitely going to watch them. The first one is about a family who sold their house, gave up their jobs and bought an old farm house where they want to live the "good life".
The second episode of ARTE's series about Royal gardens is all about the gardens of Het Loo here in The Netherlands. This former hunting lodge was the home of William of Orange before he moved to Hampton Court and the gardens at Het Loo were the inspiration for the gardens at Hampton Court.
The latest episode of my local Dutch garden programme Tuinen van Kleijs visited the gardens at Middachten. Those were designed by the same architect as the gardens at Het Loo, and the owners of Middachten were close friends of William.
Another dry and Sunny day expected here in The Netherlands and the plants in my vegetable plot are now really putting on growth.
Here are the latest garden bits I found on the web, starting with the Mid-American Gardener. This time they cover topics ranging from fertilizing your peonies to planting your blackberries in the best location or managing violets.
I also stumbled across a series of short programmes about all sorts of private gardens in the Augsburg region in Germany. I love having a peek in other people's gardens.
Second attempt at posting, because just as I was about to hit the send button, my browser shut down .
Saturday again, and that means that Gardening Australia should be available to download from around 12.00.Here is what's in today's show.
A Rock and a Hard Place: Costa visits green wall and roof garden expert Mark Paul's home to find a cleverly constructed garden bursting with ideas for growing plants in unlikely spots.
Pick and Plant: Josh has a clever tip to keep you constantly in garden produce.
Plant Profile - Yellow Wax Bells: John profiles an unusual woodland plant.
Give Bugs a Chance: Sophie enlists the help of an insect expert to find out how most creepy crawlies are welcome garden allies rather than something to be feared.
Ripper Idea - Pool to Garden Bed: Costa shows how a viewer turned an unused above ground pool into a series of raised garden beds.
The Burning Question: Tino shows what to do with fireplace ash and charcoal.
Fascinating Ferns: Jane explores the diverse world of ferns and shows how to grow and propagate some of her favourites.
FAQs - Potatoes in Tyres | Digging Wet Soil | Kaffir Limes: Your questions from emails, letters and Facebook.
Dare to Dream: Tino visits the stunning Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden in north west Tasmania to see what's been achieved by a group of passionate volunteers.
A hot and sunny day expected here in The Netherlands.
As you may have noticed, Gardening Australia didn't upload the latest episode yet. That sometimes happens, and I expect they will upload tomorrow. They did however upload clips of the individual parts of the show.
Not many gardening programmes on the web today. There often seem to be fewer programmes during the weekend for some reason. I did find an older one from Frankfurt an der Oder, which has bits about children working in a school garden and they also visit an allotment site.
The weather is hotting up fast now here in The Netherlands. We're supposed to reach 37 degrees here later in the week. Not sure I'll like it that hot though.
Here are today's programmes from the web.
Servus TV aired the latest episode of Landträume. This one is about the gardens and landscapes around the Lüneburger Heide in Gemany.
The American programme Garden Time has the following: How to make a entertaining patio, what plants work well at the coast, how to feed your birds and not the squirrels and the rats, how to pick cherries, how they hybridize daylilies, tips for watering your lawn more efficiently, the top 4 problems for roses, how to help your plants get through hot weather and some early summer plants.
The Austrian Natur im Garten visited the garden of someone who has always worked in nurseries and who has a lot of plants in the garden which were about to be thrown away by the nursery.
The latest episode of the Wisconsin Vegetable Gardener has bits about how to plant non GMO soybeans and why, shows how to make strawberry butter and talks about what to do with volunteers in your garden.
I also found a programme on ARTE which is called Peace Parks, Mandela's Last Dream. Not really about gardening, but about his dream to use nature, plants and flowers to help bring peace.
And finally the last episode of my local Dutch gardening pergramme Tuinen van Kleijs. He visited another local estate garden, a project to put plants on the roof of a car park in the middle of Arnhem for a few months and he visited garden designer Piet Oudolf at his home and garden in Hummelo.

I'm about to get on my bike and ride to one of the many commercial orchards here in the region to buy cherries, yum.
