Did anyone catch Monty Don's promise that Joe Swift will be getting / has got an allotment and the programme will be following his progress, this should make aforementioned programme a bit more exciting I reckon.

Dear Compo, i agree, interesting will be the right word if my eyes did not fail me.
It looked as if he was trying to rotavate a lorry load of subsoil.

Yes I wondered about that having spent 2 months digging out counch grass because everyone says a rotovator just chops it up!
It should be a helpful slot for a novice like me though.

So far the only thing that's green on my allotment is me.

Depends on who is advising - suspect what JS knows about veg growing wouldn't fill a programme. As the Irish road directions proverbially say "I wouldn#t start from here" looking at the trailer.

I wish they would get some real gardeners again, it sounds like the blind leading the blind at the moment. I just hope new gardeners will watch the programme for ideas and then look up how to do it properly in a book.

Joe Swift certainly seemed to be labouring with that rotavator.
Gardener's World these days is a bit like popcorn - the idea is lovely, the tantalising aroma draws you in, then you get stuck into it only to find it's no better than a puff of air with about as much substance.
Ho hum.
