TV gardener Charlie Dimmock on how gardening has changed since Ground Force was last on air in 2005:
"The wonderful thing is that people are a lot more into growing fruit and veg at home. So we’re going back to when I was a kid and everyone had a vegetable patch. The thing to remember though is you don’t have to have a patch to grow vegetables. Some vegetables look really quite attractive mixed in the flower borders. Runner beans climbing up through a climbing rose are quite pretty. Salad leaves look quite pretty edging a border. Even if you’ve got quite a tiny garden there are a lot of vegetables that are fine in containers."
A tale I saw
Born to Rule by Roger Robinson
A tale I wrote
The pantomime villain
finally listened to the crowd,
turned around and shot
the handsome lead actor
in the stomach.
Did he bleed to death?
Oh, yes he did.
A tail I like
