  • The Edible Garden - BBC2 @ 20.00pm

    Apologies if already posted...

    Alys Fowler attempts to avoid shop-bought fruit and vegetables and live off her own, home-grown produce. It's no easy task because Alys doesn't want to turn her garden into an allotment, so she's growing her fruit and vegetables among her flowers.

    Alys will focus on different foods and show how anyone can grow, cook and eat from their own garden - even if they live in a city.

    Peas and beans are prolific vegetables but they also look beautiful in the borders. Alys makes delicious broad bean falafels, pea shoot cocktails and forages for willow to make plant supports. And she has two new additions to the family - her chickens!
    Cheers

        But the preview in Radio Times is less that brilliant, makes her sound like a bit of an oddity especially where her chickens are concerned and is it me or is she sounding more like Nigella Lawson?

          Hide the Radio Times and perhaps he'll forget
          I'm going to watch it. I do so hate GW. People have been planting veg among flowers for ever but I'm looking forward to some good ideas.

                  Is it on for half an hour, or an hour? I'll be recording it. I don't particularly like Alys, but I'll give it a go.

                      Thanks Broadway, that'll probably be long enough! I always feel a bit patronised by the gardening programmes these days. Bring back "The Big Dig" with proper veg gardeners!

                            I must admit, I feel the same. She does a lot of the 'posh tottie smooching with the camera' bit, doesn't she?

                              Why can't we have a programme presented by a good down to earth presenter , with no fancy boots or smoochy ways. I'm quite happy to have the odd bit about non-edibles but I don't need over half the programme being given over to all the different breeds of one plant. More information needed on how to do stuff, pests and diseases etc. examples would be good.

                              Sorry just felt the need to say it.......
