    Here's an extract from the Amateur Gardening Magazine about Gardeners World......

    "Episodes of Gardeners World on BBC2 are to be extended by 30 minutes from September until the end of the series in late October, the BBC said.
    Executive Producer Panio Proto said "It's an exciting time and one that offers a great opportunity to expand the breadth of gardening we cover. Strands will cover topics as diverse as tropical plants to city gardens and the science of gardening. We'll spend time with Head Gardeners from some of the country's leading gardens and meet passionate amateurs"
    The eight one hour long episodes will feature more guest presenters, including Nick Bailey, Head Gardener at Chelsea Physic Garden who will solve gardening problems . Francis Tophill, of ITV's Love Your Garden, will meet gardeners who garden in extreme conditions, while cameras will follow designer Adam Frost as he revamps the garden at his new home.
    Joe Swift will be on a mission to re-kindle the nation's long lost love affair with rockeries. Paolo added "Carol Klein will look at plant families and of course we will be spending time with Mondy at Longmeadow"
    The BBC is planning to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Gardeners World in 2017"

                    @WeeTam, still cancel your license. You can watch it on iPlayer without one. Waste of 145 pound if you ask me.. but I don't watch live tv unless I'm over some one else's house :biggrin:

                          They are lovely I will admit that.. but they get more screen time than the bloody plants!

                          I reckon James Wong should be on it.. :wub2:

                            I should imagine so he had a range of "homegrown revolution seeds" and cucamelon was in it, even on the back of my dahlia "yam" seeds he says to eat the tubers like spuds.. He's a strange one but I like strange

                              He would be better than the fake gardener..........Joe Swift. The guys garden at his London house is a mess and remember the "alotment" he had ? Turns out he was never there in reality and it was soon given up according to the guy in the next alotment.

                              Designer yes, gardener definately not.
