Beechgrove Garden

I have never seen the series Beechgrove Garden, but I have heard positive things about it

Just visited the site and it says "Beechgrove Garden - back on Mondays from 4th April at 19.30
BBC1 Scotland" - no idea if that means this year? or if the site is stale? but might be worth looking out for.

 

It's a very good show =] much more down to earth then Gardeners World in my opinion it's usually available on BBC Iplayer for people who don't live in Scotland

 

Hi Kristen

Thanks for this , i have watched it the past 4 years , if you have Sky you can find BBC1 Scotland , it will suprise people in the South how far behind the wether can be as in tulips mine all finished (South Wales) and in Scotland just starting to bloom , its very practical and old school which I like and gives you the basic and more information the presenters are realy good as well and keep the same ones , which makes a change to Gardenrs World saying last week "Toby not gone he has a book out!!!"

Hooked from Wikipedia, so may not be accurate

BBC1 Scotland:

Sky Digital Channel 971
Freesat Channel 960
Virgin Media Channel 862

Freeview Channel 1 - I presume that is a local broadcast, so if you are not in Scotland your are F.O.O.L :(

 

Thanks for the "heads up" on this Kristen, just looking around their site...looks quite good.

Does anyone know how long this programme is?

My wife is from Hamilton and when I first went there at Christmas times, every morning, every thing was covered with hoar frost, total white out.

Used to give a hand in the in-laws garden when I was there at other times and yes they were yonks behind glos, 330 miles further north and inland to boot.

But nearer the sea, they grow Ayrshire potatoes, Clyde valley tomatoes, Perthshire is the main area in the UK for raspberries and other soft fruits and the main area for seed and ordinary potatoes, (Northern Ireland also grows seed and ordinary ones as well).

Up the west coast there are lots of gardens growing sub tropical plants, where the gulf stream hits!

BUT! it is cold there in winter, and they are having snow there now!

Hi Thanks for the reminder
Its what I call a gardening programme , and it was good intresting viewing and I have found out I can graft in new tree ferns in to the top if mine if dead ?? (jury still out on that).
They the netting on the fruit cage over winter that was a big no as the snow collected on the net and nearly made it all collapse but at least they showed it, so Iam glad its back

They have lost tons of plants as well

First time I have watched it, I have to say it looks like its going to become a regular part of my TV gardening viewing.

If you missed it, catch it on Iplayer.
