Hi,
Allotment Wars - Well that's what the show gave us.
It's a shame that the BBC and other broadcasters haven't woken up to the untold positive stories about allotment. I've tried for years but all they want is what you saw last night.
I did like the ladies in Essex, very funny.
Today I have spoken with the majority of the people who took part. The Essex girls and the Bill & Ben Man/Janet are pleased with the show. The two gentlemen in the North for fumming - they have their AGM tonight as well! They were both put forward for the show by their own committee!
But please bear in mind, would you take part if you were told in advance "This show is all about conflict and fights!". No, I don't think you would. The contributors have claimed that the producers "played with" them and slowly moved away from filming general gardening advice and wanted to keep talking about infighting. Once you are in a situation like that it's very difficult to get out of it and stand your ground against the production company. The gentlemen in the North have told me the full story about why they don't talk, but due to the nature of their argument I can't even repeat it here otherwise I may get a visit from the boys in blue.
As for the Manchester guy - there is a lot more to this than meets the eye. He has been in the press for many years so don't think he was thrown off just for not attending his plot for three weeks.
I know the type of TV programmes that everyone wants to see but unless the horticultural industry funds the programme themselves, for YouTube, then you won't be seeing anything like it on TV in the near future.
Also, another production company is about to start asking for contributors. Once I know more information as to the nature of the show I will let you know.

WHERE IS THE LOVE????? Or the JOY or the FUN? They took a big needle and sucked out all that is good about gardening, about growing, about little seedling poking though! Where were all the smiling faces and the proud grins and the pats on the back because of the achieving all that they have achieved? Did you look behind the muppets chuntering away to see the lovely stuff they'd managed to grow when they weren't having a bad day and/or arguing? What a big, big shame Gardening makes me happy, small things amuse small minds as they say, and it doesn't take much to get a big grin from one of my ears to another. It's a shame the people featured forgot why they grew stuff sighsYou may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...
I'm an official nutter - an official 'cropper' of a nutter! I am sooooo pleased to be a cropper! Hurrah!

Forget the wars and just share knowledge. TV gardening can be interesting: Sean's Allotment Garden (2013) - YouTube

However, on the edits, the sun shines out of this place's backside.

One thing that has just struck me about the program is that for the most parts the sites they visited were very pretty - I know that lady's shed was a bit OTT for an allotment shed but it wasn't ugly..

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
