Beechgrove Garden

Post by Herts Mike »

Was I the only one to watch this early Sunday morning with a visit to the National Rebutia collection?

If you search BBC iPlayer for Beechgrove it is episode 5 - It is first broadcast Thursday evening on BBC Scotland then repeated on BBC2 on Sunday morning - I can get BBC Scotland via my Virgin box so have that set to record the series

Congratulations Paul - your Rebutia/ Aylostera / Weingartia collection looks great in flower, and your new greenhouse is certainly doing the trick! The presenter gave Paul plenty of chance to talk some good sense about the plants and their cultivation. An interesting and informative slot, which is more than can be said about some gardening programs.

I too love Beechgrove and never miss an episode, it is really "down to earth". I too enjoyed the last episode with all the lovely Rebutias.
