    Hi everyone,
    Over the last year I've been posting loads but I haven't been posting many photos. It's because I was sworn to secrecy but I am now allowed to say that I took part in a tv show called Big Dreams, Small Spaces: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07237wd
    Our episode is next Thur 25th Feb.
    I'll be allowed to share photos after it has been shown.
    But, I wanted to say, a huge thank you to everyone on here who replied and helped me last year. Gardener'sCorner played such a big role in our garden revamp like you wouldn't know :)
    I'm really looking forward to being able to show you all of the Dahlias and other plants properly!!
    Jack

      :wow: Jack! How very exciting!!!!! :dancy:
      Bravo on keeping it a secret for so long too :yay:

      I'm going to be glued to the TV on that day, at that time *and* I'll record it as well (just in case the dog gets caught short and I have to run to open the back door).

      Oh and PS: Please may I have your autograph :wub2: :wub2: :wub2:

        Thanks - it was difficult! :D I'm now half excited to see how it all turned out but also nervous about the reality of it all. :hate-shocked::hate-shocked::hate-shocked:

        haha to the autograph, of course, I'll print out photos and everything (or maybe not)

          Hi Jack,

          Well done :)

          I can't wait to see the show and see how all your efforts have panned out.

          Is the show a docu type programme or a competition ? If the latter do you know if you've won yet ?

          Once again congrats :)

                It's a bit of a documentary style really. Thankfully (for us) there isn't a competition element :D

                      That's great :yay:.

                      I see that it's just two gardens in the hour long programme. If it follows normal docu-filming that means they must have spent ages filming in your garden. :rolleyespink: :phew:

                        I look forward to watching it Jack.

                        I guess after the programme has aired we can expect an influx of new members here because you mentioned Gardeners Corner on national TV....you did mention Gardeners Corner, didn't you?

                          Haha. Yes it took many, many days of filming for the whole thing.

                          Sadly not :( I would have loved to but the BBC don't allow any brand name promotion and I don't have any say over what is shown. I have written a post on my blog for afterwards which does link to here though :)
