    Is it just me, or is that woman tottering around in ridiculous shoes?

    Can't stop laughing at the woman in the blue dress trying to walk across the allotment in her high heeled wedges.:D

    I'm never good with sweet peas. Theirs are pretty good.

    Wow. Quite a lot of variation in those bouquets

    Not sure all of them 'compliment' the sweet peas. Some seem to obliterate them altogether.

    Bit odd that the same people are doing all the tasks like vegetable growing, flower arranging and jam making. The broquet was a great idea. I think they should copyright that name. I can see it taking off.

    Sorry.

    I thought all of these types of shows were meant to be in reality now.

    I did check in the TV forum but did not see anything.

    You are right about merging them :)

    I am glad it isn't just me at BP watching!

    I haven't made jam for years.

    I like the idea of trying to make curd. I bought a jar of raspberry curd when we were at a National Trust house last summer. It was gorgeous.

    Indeed. Bit of a shame really.

    Maybe it will be a slow starter but catch on like sewing bee.

    I do wonder if it can keep interest and how much variety there can be in the challenges.

    Once they have made jams and relishes, what else is there to do with your salad and veg apart from eating them steamed or raw. Ratatouille? Veg lasagne? Fruit pie & quiche?
