Friday was the start of the new series of Gardener's World on BBC and yippee Monty Don is back and they've returned to the original format. Back to the presenters talking to us as equals, camera men and editors showing us what we want to see, no "arty shots". My personal belief that if you don't notice the camera angles and just see the presenter, then you've got the best behind the scenes team possible, you don't go and see a show at the theatre and see the backstage crew appearing (just those sound men setting the levels too high so you don't forget them).
It was great to see lots of tips and tricks in a "real" garden that is a family garden, loved the beetroot module idea, off to plant some in a moment for both of the veg plots.
I would like a timelord though, I don't have enough time to do the gardening as my students' need my attention whether planning or marking. My reward for hard planning is a few minutes in the greenhouse.
The sun is just beginning to shine between the clouds, so I think the time has come to stretch my legs, grab a packet of seeds, label & pen and head to the greenhouse.
Happy growing
