this made me smile, perhaps if we do him the favour of looking at his blog and pushing his rating up, he may even mention the vine on the telly he's got a bit defensive about things, maybe struck a nerve. freebees on the BBC? nah?? i get guys on my site digging up plants from their plots and giving them away all the time.

It's safe to say it's not me, keeping my head down is the thing I'm probably least good at.

I still think Joe is missing a trick not calling his blog - Joe Blogs!

Does the Grapevine get a mention? I've speed-read some of Joe's blog, but can't see what you're all referring to ...

He clearly spends far too much time celebing around various shows throughout the summer to dedicate any time to the lottie. I wonder if someone does it for him in his absense.

I don't think he read this though, there have been plenty of negative posts on gardeners world forum about him let alone here. Though I guess it will depend on how vain he is.

I dont mind old Joe really, but may save the reading of his blog, for when i have run out of books to read as god it goes on , and on, and on.

Also, if you are lurking & reading this Joe, give us a mooney on the next show LOL
