As a change from the heavy stuff that I keep getting involved in on the forum, here are a few films which might appeal to gardeners over these long dark nights:

Back To The Fuschia starring Michael J. Foxglove
The Compost Man Always Rings Twice
Gone With The Windowbox starring Lawn Green, Patrick Mower & Victor Manure
Three Weedings & A Bonfire
The Germinator
The Eagle Has Landed On The Bird Table
Some Like It Hot, But Most Prefer Some Shade, Perhaps By A Wall, What Do You Think Bob Flowerdew?

Any more suggestions? And some books might be a good idea.

Morning Alan, that is just what we needed to lighten things up a little, and put a much needed smile on my face. :)

The forum is indeed getting bogged down with heavy stuff. :(
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I have to agree with these sentiments - to be honest it is one reason that I have visited the forum less frequently than I used to. Even 'innocent' threads often seem to become heavy going.
