    These programs that you have told us of what is to come, Ground Force/Castle in the Country, these things are not for real gardeners, and have no real purpose, and Charlie's Wildlife/ Wilderness Walks/ Birding with Bill Oddie, if I wanted to learn about wild life I would turn the TV to Nat Geo! Just tell me where here is real true grit gardening, gardening that is of some use to us, Teaching us what are fore fathers learned. I'm not happy at all, I for one WILL NOT be tuning in to your channel again...! Clearly the staff at the BBC should get out on the street and do some researches on what people want these days! Bring back UK gardening…! LISTEN to the public for once give us what we want. If some one is reading this out there in BBC land take note to what has been written on this message board by many upset people! shame on you for taking the only decent channel off sky.

    With the times being as they are, I had decided to change my garden in to a vegetable garden, I no nothing about this so knowing that I had support from the Gardening channel, I went out one morning and dug over the garden, Waiting for all this knowledge old and new to come flooding my way, hoping to learn how to save money and take care of my family better and teach them old and new ways of gardening and the history involved in this noble subject. I turned the TV on this morning for help WHERE HAS IT GONE! Where has my help gone, now I have had to spend much needed money on books that I can not well afford? What on earth are the BBC thinking of, these gardening programs are much needed by me and by the nation at this most dreadful time.
