todays Gardening Australia show was good, anyone else agree. The number 1 thing i liked most was the sprayer care that jerry done and then the root rot by angus, they were very interesting.

Collie, you know I have always loved you – thanks for yet another reason to ;-)

Just gotta figure out Vodcasting now, * sigh *! Feral Teenager will tell me I’m sure.

Ooh lovely, initial assessment seems that it will play in Windows Media Player, so I won’t have to do anything complicated like download extra software. Brill. Can you guess what Mr Y and I will be doing when the kids go to sleep in the winter evenings now??? Ooh, yeah!!

There’s three of us plugged into the modem atm, Feral Teenager could be downloading who-knows-what himself, and I know Mr Y is looking at stuff. It’ll probably go faster once I disconnect the others, mwa-ha-ha-ha (sinister laugh)

Hmmm I thought it was a little dull also.
The root rot segment was interesting though with cool dude Angus.

I guess I’m just more interested in the productive garden segments.

I miss the short bit where old Pete would show pics of peoples garden and how they had recycled items and used them in the garden.

eg PVC pipe to make green house frames, or old wire baskets turned upside down to keep the birds from attacking seedlings etc etc.

Its a pity that they take a huge break in the summer months, when everyhing is at full pace in the vegie patch.

Hopefully the bloke with his little accordian get back on SBS soon.

I also find this show boring—and most of the people on it—although I do admire the old bloke although he does drive me crazy on the show
