Gardener's World:Carol Klein on the science of gardening?

Have you met her? If you had, you'd see why I ask. It's occasionally disappointing! Those terms are for the trained horticulturist . . . . Worthy

I missed the prog, though I'd noticed it looked interesting when browsing beforehand...
With terms like that, I think the layman/woman needs someone to feign ignorance helpfully.

I know when I do the radio progs. the presenter always asks questions they already know the answer to.

No, I've not met her Worthy - but I don't agree that the programme was only for horticulturalists - it wasn't detailed enough on the science front, loads more left out, but I'd have thought it would have been really interesting for ordinary gardeners, particularly in the way it was presented - science made simple, and I don't mean that in a derogatory way.

I recorded the Carol Klein show to watch again later when I'm more awake... and I recorded the programme which followed... Clare Balding in Lynton and Lynmouth... excellent ...so I shall enjoy seeing both shows again ...

I guess Carol already knew some of the information in the programme, but she is clever enough to ask the questions in a way the viewers would appreciate, and she genuinely enjoyed having all those specialists with their knowledge and "equipment" in her garden !

.... and I like "Fleur"... her Lakeland-type Terrier ... Lol...:o)

I watched last nights programme and found its content of interest. Which says something as I havent stuck with it for years.

You and me both, Drc, I only watched this one to check the content because I knew the subject matter.

Same here!

I watched it and found it interesting. The only trouble is, if there were 'questions' to follow I might fail the test. Like TT I would need a refresher to take it all in better. I like Carol Klein. She is allowed to be older and wiser on the Beeb, which is getting a bit rare in these dumbed down, spray tanned, botoxed days of HDTV. Also if it is your speciality you DO know. Just as I know Nat and phys. I know what a malleus and a pineal and odontoid is cos I just know!!I like little doggies in the veggie garden, specially when they catch a rat, as in one TV programme.
