Kitchen Garden Forum

We were supposed to record Gardeners World last night for friends who are away on holiday . . . we forgot
Does anyone know if it's repeated any time during the week? We get the free to view channels only.
Thanks
Chris

As you have a computer use the BBC i-Player at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ for the home page and http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... Episode_4/ for last nights episode.

If you can get the Regional variations it is on BBC 2 Wales at 20:30 tonight.

PS : Possibly 991 if you are using Freesat from Sky.

Re Last nights Gardeners World. Never heard of stroking tomato's to strengthen the stems before.

You must not have read my reply to one of the tomato questions recently, Shallotman. I mentioned stroking them or blowing on them to move them about as it strengthens the growth. In commercial greenhouses they sometimes have a metal bar on wheels that runs up and down tracks brushing over the plants to do the same job. I wonder if Toby Buckland ready this forum?

Oh thanks everyone. Geoff you've saved the day - we can get BBC2 Wales Sorry Peter, i-Player doesn't work in France apparently.

I remember when I was very young (not at school yet) and we got our first TV. The man came and installed it and, apparently, my friend and I sat glued to it watching a programme on Welsh sheep!! My Mum was very amused.

Plumpudding - I think you're right about stroking plants. I seem to have read that somewhere, even just brushing your hand over the tops from time to time.

Forgot to say - the reason my Mum was so amused was because the programme was all in Welsh
