For the first time in years, I am glad to see the end of Beechgrove. Its been rubbish for most of the year.
Too many presenters, too much time spent on other peoples show gardens and short snippets on tools etc.
I'm glad it's not just me.
I was watching it to try and learn how to garden, raise fruit and vegetables because I'm not great at this whole gardening and allotmenting thing that I love. But it kept covering "look at this beautiful garden, look at that beautiful garden, next week more beautiful gardens". Perfect gardens don't tell me what is tasty, what to do now, how to do it, how to correct what is going on, what looks benign now but will blow up in my face in the imminent future. The constant show gardens also just reminds me of how rubbish I am.
At this time of year they could be covering fruiting trees, pruning, putting in winter veg, preparing soil, storing fruit and vegetables. Not packing it in.
It's a sacred institution up here in Aberdeen.
