I'm with you; but that's where the dollars are... I used to watch Rebecca's Garden & P Allen Smith (although I think he's gone the "McMansion" route himself, the last several programs I saw were all about how he was installing gardens & structures on his newly-purchased vast acreage), & I miss those old shows. & I loved The Victory Garden, too...just wish they'd left the plant names on the screen long enough for me to copy them! It seems odd to say this, but I think Martha Stewart's gardening bits are more reasonable & less lavish in scale; they show what we can do with our own gardens, not what a bulldozer & 3 tons of decorative rock & a zillion dollars will accomplish "in one week-end". Maybe PBS could mix more gardening shows in with their cooking & workshop shows? |
