TV Shows on Gardening

In my quest to learn about gardening, I have turned to classes, web sites, books, and, yes, television. I recorded a slew of shows that mentioned "garden" in the description. Thus far, I have found three that have been worth my time. Maybe they'll warrant your attention, too.

Victory Garden on PBS. This is a classic. It has a series of small segments in each 30 minute show. Each segment focuses on a different aspect of gardening. I've recently seen segments on cooking with your home-grown vegetables, composting, adding art to your garden, robust year-round plants, and plants for the office. The web site is great and features video from the show.

Gardening by the Yard on HGTV. The host, master gardener Paul James, is pretty funny in a goofy sort of way. The show focuses on techniques for getting the most out of your garden in the least amount of time. The web site features full episodes and smaller segments from the show.

Landscape Smart on HGTV. This isn't just about gardening, per se, but I've gotten some good ideas for walking paths and raised beds from this show. This show is in the style of lots of the "get a massive project done in one day" shows on HGTV. The web site does NOT appear to feature videos.
