I'm all for people growing more of their own food but if you have never done it before its a big thing to dig up your lovingly tended flower borders when you are not quite sure what you are doing.
Gardening programmes tend to go too quickly from this is how you start, to - and here is one I did earlier. We need more of the steps in between and at a slower pace How about a regular slot in each programme which could be backed up online and in gardeners world magazine.
MAKE IT SIMPLE
eloquentsuperdodger the in between step are usually boring but if you look can be found on the internet and good veg gardening books.
To be fair early GW programs did do more of this, back in the pre-geoff days. I actually think going back at regular intervals to show how things are progressing (and the disasters/mistakes) could be quite interesting. I suspect we've all got used to the more "instant" process and lack the attention we used to have.
I agree. It would be quite amusing to see people doing what I seem to do every year- going out to the veg plot and staring at bare earth just willing the garlic/parsnip/spring onions/whatever to emerge!

Eastyman why not give Ö÷²¥´óÐã Scotland's Beechgrove a try. They constantly show updates and don't hesitate to show the disasters either. Best gardening programme there is at the moment.
Unfortunately it's off for the winter, until next April.
Hi i was pointed to the beech grove web site yesterday its well worth a look
