There was a woman planting what she called the 3 sisters' bed.
It was sweetcorn, runner beans and squash.
I like thet idea. Has anyone tried it?
Could courgettes replace squash, or even pumpkin?

courgettes no but pumkins yes unless the pumkin gets huge and is restricted by the corn

Hi Lily, there are a couple of threads on this from a month or so back. Try the Search button or post again if you need help finding them

Ah Sarah Raven,she did not disappoint planting seeds in a green velveteen coat and then the 3 sisters bed with practical laced wellies frayed linen skirt and again the green velvet coat elegantly draped across the soil behind her.She also wore a scarf but despite valiant efforts failed to plant the ends with any permanance.Misters Don and Swift let the side down dressed in rolled up shirt sleeves as if it was a warm day.

..but so practical Shaun,not your frivolous stuff!

shaun · « **Reply #6 on:** May 19, 2007, 22:52 »

ohhh very practical annie,yer see if you wear all them clothes you dont need to make a bed cus your already wearing the quilt

Annie · « **Reply #7 on:** May 19, 2007, 22:59 »

That was unkind Shaun.Sarah has her own unique dress sense and probably has frilly quilts and wears high buttoned cotten lawn nighties in bed.

that monty isnt much better where can you buy cordroyd trousers from in that horrid green ?

Annie · « **Reply #9 on:** May 19, 2007, 23:04 »

I agree,he should find out from Sarah where she got that subtle green velvet from!They would be so much more suitable for the green garden.

Yeah you can all laugh at her clothes but MY GOD i want her painted Gypsey caravan with the double bed inside..that was adorable !

Glad I missed it now all those funny clothes and that carol woman really gets on my nerves, let alone that bl@@dy SR. I don't watch it usually these days, Much preferred Geoff H, or Alan Titchmarsh.

I agree. I watched her 'grow your own veg' programme with high hopes, but 90% seemed to consist of close ups of her eating veg and saying how wonderful it tasted. I've learnt more on these forums in a few weeks than on that programme.

What happened to Dan Pearson, I used to like him?

I hate the programme because people watch it, get an allotment, stir it around a bit, then sit at home reading the magazine while their weeds grow.

There's too much of a difference between the Real World and BBC Gardeners World.

Yeah Bagpuss what's happened to Dan Pearson i liked him too...i used to watch his - A year at Home Farm.
