Gardeners World tonight 1 October
« on: October 01, 2010, 18:25 »
According to my copy of Radio Times (other listing mags are available  ::) ) tonight "Joe Swift challenges himself to grow perfectly formed vegetables to show at a prestigious RHS event.  The programme follows the difficulties he faces during the run-up, and how the task takes over his life as he competes against some of the country's best vegetable growers."

BBC2, 7 - 8 pm.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

watching it now, cant stand joe swift but am watching to see if i can get any tips :)
If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

I think the best tip was not to go on holiday for two weeks while your veg is growing.

Which is what he did  ::)

well i think im going to stick to my everyday gardening i don't think i would have either the time or patients to show grow i know i usually watch gardeners world on a Friday when im not at work then i am a glutton for punishment Ive lost quite an interest in gardeners world this is probably the most veg growing Ive seen for some time on gardeners world since  Monty left

  i must say the veg's  where a wonderful display and a credit to those growers after that i switched over and watched Eddie stobart i must definitely be a glutton for punishment

It seems to me that you grow either food to eat and keep your family going or you become a little self indulgent and grow to show. Nothing wrong with that but if I was spending time growing vegetables I would want to cook them later.  Sorry all you competitive growers. :wub:  They are interesting to look at and certainly conversation pieces. :D

Didn't realise it was on and missed the start.  Thanks for the heads up that it is on again on Sunday.
