Everything In The Garden
A lunchtime meeting in Inverness today with Jim McColl. He's best known as the long-standing presenter of the TV programme, but he's also the chairman of . The annual event takes place over the first weekend in June and today we were discussing which of our radio programmes would be involved.
I don't pretend to be an expert on gardening but since Mrs Z has a PhD in botany and biochemsistry you'd think that everything in our garden would be rosy. Alas no. In fact, having just moved into a new-build house, our garden still resembles a building site.
Indeed that situation prompted a suggestion to Frieda Morrison who, at this very moment, is tracking down householders across Scotland who are in a similar situation with new plots. You'll be able to hear these stories when Frieda returns with a new series of the Beechgrove Potting Shed later this month. There will also be a special series of online videos to accompany the programme.
Meanwhile Jim was telling us about some of the innovations he and his team have planned for Gardening Scotland. Apparently there will be a huge walk-through bee-hive.
Now, which of our presenters should I ask to look into that?
