Hi all, Here is an excellent resource for all gardening beginners or for those of you who need a refresher course. BBC's How To Be A Gardener with Alan Titchmarsh It starts from the basics and explains all aspects in a clear and fun way. There are also fun interactive games that help speed up the learning process. The topics covered are: 1. Know your plot 2. Understand plants 3. Planting schemes and themes 4. Practical planting 5. Caring for your garden 6. Problem solving 7. The productive garden 8. The gardening year I have not come across a better introduction to gardening yet!
Neither have I Frank!! I went through all the topics and there are a few great tips there. Really liked the planting schemes and themes. 8)
I can't believe how good it is. Working in the web design area I understand how important layout and colour of a website is and let me tell you something, BBC always impress me in that respect. Sorry that was a bit off-topic The information is great on there and the language they use is everyday speak which makes taking in all the terms a lot easier. And I just love the little games!
I love Alan Titchmarsh's book!!! I only have part 2 though!!! ugh!!! But I am looking for book one!!! ANYONE out there know where I can get book one??? (this was before they combined the two and sold them that way!!! )I am soooo happy to read this book....he really "holds your hand" through a lot of the processes!!!
