American Gardeners Perhaps?

 There are not many gardening programmes on the old electric fish tank at the moment.  So I do my viewing on good old YouTube.

Here's an American gardening programme  I found for you.  Hope it makes you laugh.  It made me laugh.  Hope it makes Debby (Life's Funny Like That) laugh?

A music post tomorrow.  

Mushrooms And Pints.

 We watched Bill Bailey and Shaun Ryder go for a few pub walks on Channel 4 on Sunday night.

You can watch it on You Tube later.   They walk the Somerset countryside and seek refreshment in a few of the ale houses along the way.  The even go the Glastonbury festival site.  I went there in 1989 and met a lot of characters in the 200000 tent city which I have wrote about on here.  Just put Glastonbury in my blog search if you wish to read some of my festival tales?

Bill seems to have the gift of making people open up and it was a walk/walks full of anecdotes.

Shaun is a real tough northerner with the gift of self deprecation which seems to be instilled in us northern folk.  He's also very funny and the anecdotes he can remember are very entertaining.

I found this programme really enjoyable in the vein of Mortimer and Whitehouse Go Fishing.  It's not so much what they are doing it is what they are taling about.

Well done Channel 4.  You made TV Heaven.

Any one else seen this programme? Who would you like to go on a pub walk with?  Kate Bush and Britney Spears would be two of my choices.   Oh Julia Bradbury is into walking isn't she?

Planting Up The Raised Beds.

 

I  planted this cut down IBC tank with some of my self propagated perennials this very morn.

There are Osteospermums that I grew from cuttings this Autumn and Bergenias (Elephants Ears) that I made by division.

The previous crop in the raised bed was leeks.  

Conditions are wet and cold at the moment.

The perennials give the veg plot a bit ofAutumn cheer.

I even managed to photograph my wellingtons again!  

Anyone else still gardening in December?
