We probably need a boilerplate response for gardenbanter posters...

Pepper:

You need to understand that gardenbanter is simply taking an international usenet newsgroup and relaying it on their web page as if it were their own. Many of us can't see BBC-anything (unless streamed on the web) because we're in the U.S. or many, many other places. So, it's difficult to know what you're referring to.

The TV show "The Edible Garden" is blocked from the U.S. for Web viewing for some reason. So no I could not watch it. I do have the channel "BBC America" on cable, so it may show up some day. The only show I watch on BBC is "Dr. Who". I can also pickup Canadian stations which also carries some BBC shows. When I am truly board I will sometimes turn-on my ham radio gear and listen to the shortwave bands and hear what the world says (including BBC).

The U.S. has several garden shows also, but I rarely watch them. I will take a good book any-day!

The message from that link if you reside outside of the UK is "Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only"

Was the url worth finding?

Finding something who's existence is unknown to you, can be a little tricky. Now that I'm at this video void, please explain to me why you gave us this url. It would reassure me that you know what you are doing.

OK ms Marq?

Curiously enough, the OP's gardenbanter addy is invalid. Must be the season.

Pleasant surprises: While cleaning up tall Jerusalem Artichoke stalks, etc., I found a row of lettuces planted too late to do much last fall. They all survived, and some Radicchio that I left as too small is leafing out nicely. I'll be curious to see if it thinks this is its second year. A couple of kinds of Kale the deer missed are taking off, and the garlic is already several inches high (as are the cloves I missed in last year's bed!). The bass aren't building their boudoirs in the shallows and putting on Barry White recordings yet, but the peepers are making up for it.

Spring has most definitely sprung!

Cheers,

The world that nature has given us, is certainly better than the one that our representatives have given us. Glad to hear of your discovered treasure.

did that and found it no problem at all.

WHAT is TRICKY about that????

It is only as tricky as you make it.

Your 'video void' as you put it is going to be eternal until you find your way. But it's all at your fingertips, if you know the basics!!

Doesn't work in the U.S., at least at the moment. But you're getting off the original topic, which was the innocent comment that the members of this group are far-flung and unlikely to be watching the Beeb. And the original poster has disappeared in to the aether, so the whole discussion is like one of those Python bits about pointless arguments. But it's more entertaining than the weather here, which went from very nice indeed to "Oh well, this _is_ April in New York."

I followed your advice once, and it got me nowhere. Go play in the traffic.

I feel your pain. Two days of pre-summer fore play, now looking at 2 inches of rain over the next 2 days :o(

I did plasticize (chicken manure + alfalfa mulch) the tomato and cucumber beds. We should be ready to plant in 2 weeks, if we don't get frosts messin' with us. Today I have some 4 snow peas to add to them what's already on the trellis, 12 cabbages to put amongst the potatoes, and 12 lettuce and assorted onions to shoehorn into the root garden. Any leftover time (Ha!), will be spent manuring and mulching other beds, but that goes quickly with "lasagna gardening".

I watched the programme - it inspired me to get out and dig myself a vegetable plot. Mainly, i think because her garden was a little victorian plot, like mine. We need more small garden ideas!

I agree I found a website 'Seeds4you - Grow Your Own Vegetable Seeds -'

which sells them in a smaller quantity which is great more people need to get out into the garden doesn't matter how big or small. :)

Here's an idea for a small garden -- I work with Send A Cow, a charity helping farmers and families in Africa and we encourage people at home to grow their own vegetables. We sell 'Bag Gardens', which are special kits that allow you to grow on the top and side of a bag, in a small space. I've recently planted mine and have beetroot and runner beans to look forward to!

If this is of interest to anyone, and you would like more information, then please let me know.
