[FoxHillGardener]

You're welcome to him Piskie - I wish the Beeb had chosen his mate Cleeve to do the programme we might have had an enjoyable programme and something interesting to watch.

ahem. would that be "Chelsea gold-medal winning landscape designer" Cleve West then?

He was in some gardening programme from some years ago with Ann-Marie Powell and J.(ar)S(e). Odd how it goes, cos he was definately the better gardener, but I suppose thats not how tv gardening works?!

[FoxHillGardener]

Oh yes, Ann-Marie Powell, I liked her, Why's she not on the telly any more? I sat on the table next to her having a cup of tea at a garden show in Ally Pally some years back. Too cowardy to say hello or anything

And as for timber merchants GIVING away timber to somebody not part of BBC - PAH!

Well we have two timber merchants that give and deliver for free. One drop of shaving and wood chips about 5 ton a week. the other used to have a skip on site but as it is near to the site there would be a gang of old boys in it all the time so they now havent got the skip. but come once a week and dump the lot in our carpark. Its is all of cuts and damaged bits but it gets used.

They used to have to pay �175 per week to get the skip emptied so it is saving them a fortune.

[piskieinboots]

see - you doubting Thomas' and Thomasinas' - free stuff does happen

[Flummery]

I'm waiting for sh1t to happen! We have a long path between to ancient brick walls to our allotments. This comes straight off the main road through the village. There is just no way to get it delivered. The only way is to visit the farms with your wheel barrow and do a lot of walking!

Shall we vote for Joe Swift to be replaced by Paul Wagland in Gardener's World?

[HeyWayne]

Shall we vote for Joe Swift to be replaced by Paul Wagland in Gardener's World?

Now there is an idea!!!

*ticks box on voting card*

[Winged one]

If BBC won't take PW, I'll add a vote for RTE (as my vote probably wouldn't count to the BEEB!!).

[Gauckwin]

Anyone know when Joes -Allotment/Cook book is coming out.
