Do you watch gardening television programs?

Here we settle in after supper on friday evening to watch the British gardening shows. It has become a tradition.
I enjoy the tips and techniques. Seeing how other folks do it is a great pleasure for me. I enjoy trying new things...when they make sense to me as well.

 

Gee whizz

I do believe that most of us probably knows Mrs Bucket - err. "Bu Kay" We all love it and every time we have a rerun on our channels, we make time to watch it. Hyacinth is hillarious - but I think it is because there are so many of her ways that one can identify with.

 

British and gardening

COrrect to both of you .

British do have a way with gardens, and Mrs Bucket an all......the brother in law is funny as well as the rest of the cast.......
Yes we all seem to know someone who fits the picture for each character..........

Those are my idea of funny......Along with the Jamers Herriot the vet from there.. I read every book he had out.

 

Yeah .. that "Keeping Up Appearances" show is funny.
The British have a sense of humour that I like very much. Some is very clever.
Have you ever seen a show called "One Foot in the Grave"? That show makes me weak.

 

One foot in a grave.

No we never heard of that one......
My husbands one grandma was English..But she had no sense of humor at all.
Gees

 

:-o :'( hahahahahaha
Well, it's a real shame that you don't get that show. It is really something.
It would be just the thing to watch during the depths of winter. I have seen boxes of the series for sale on amazon or somewhere and was tempted to order them.
I enjoy that series so much that I sometimes watch episodes over and over again when they re-run them. I often have sore sides from watching it. I'll tell you B, the folks that wrote that show were a very clever bunch.

 

We catch one

We catch one other one, we dont remember the name.
They are always riding bikes and falling over the walls.......
And the ladies are always in a convertible??

 

Doesn't ring a bell.

 

Sjoerd is "One foot in the grave" the show with the tortoises??

 

You may be right.

Toni

you may be correct.. We were watching it around 5:45 before our news pm......

It is crazy for sure.

 

Palm Tree

Yes Palm Tree...it is!
You KNOW it then!. :-D

 

Oh yes

Quite hillarious. I always end up with a tummy cramp from all the laughing.

 

How did those writers ever think up the unbelieveable situations...poor Mr. Meldrew.
I don't be-LIEEEEEEEEEEEEVE it!

 

I wish some of the gardening shows would give a bit more information on disease prevention. I often wonder, after they have done their spectacular makeovers, how do the plants look a year later? Guess I'm a bit focused on that aspect of gardening, since where I live has been nothing but rocks and wildflowers and I'm trying to make it a lush garden, silly me.
