Garden programmes on the web

Good morning everyone ,

Here is today's harvest . First the new episode of Garden Time, and this is what's in it...

This week on the Garden Time show we check out ground covers for any condition, plant trials of the manzanita, we learn about June Drop, we have tried and true perennials, we make a lantern planter, we learn how to keep your cut flowers fresh, we visit a topiary grower, check out pears in a bottle, and see a liqueur that is made from tree bark.

I haven't had time to weatch it yet, but at the begining I saw what looked like a very strange bit of topiary .

And the French Silence, ça pousse!

They have items about roses, about vegetables with imperfect shapes which used to be rejected by supermarkets and they visit a garden.

Good morning everyone, A few gremlins in the works today . Had the post ready twice, and both times it disappeared before I could post it .

Third time lucky though, I hope, so here goes...

First the latest episode of Great Gardening. This one is all about getting rid of weeds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOUXDYdqePk

I also stumbled across a series which airs on BBC Wales. Not really a gardening programme, but it could be interesting. It's called The Farmer and the Food Chain. I can't watch it on iPlayer , because I live outside the UK, but here is the link for those who can watch .

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05xx3gp

I've also got an older series from a German broadcaster. It's not really a gardening programme either, but a docu-soap about the characters on a German allotment site. Quite entertaining though . And it shows how different German allotment sites are compared to those in the UK. In Germany you are allowed to build a real little house on your plot and spend the weekends or even the holidays in it.
