Central Texas Gardener used to play on PBS but it didn't come on this weekend. I hope its not going off the air like they said it might. They seem to be going more to the shows like Yard crashers where they go to somebodies house and make over the yard. I like it but prefer the ones that give more plant info. I haven't been seeing many of the regular other garden shows lately. They are all reruns.

Gardening by the Yard was cancelled, that's why only reruns.
Rebeccas garden, Gardeners diary (Or is it Journal?) all seem to be gone. HGTV does have a new show with the guy from Yardcrashers but it's pretty lame, really general stuff.
Write to HGTV and complain, I have, we all need to, it's the only way we'll ever get a REAL gardening show again.
Tally HO!

I liked all of those too. I wish they would put some real ones with plant info back on. I will try to write them as well.

Try searching gardening in utube. There are some really videos there on specific topics.

I wish Victory Garden was back on with that hot Aussie guy...not the hoity toity other guy. I can't stand P Allen Smith and all his estate topics. I like the host of the Gardening By the Yard...a regular type guy..but the editing on it was so choppy and stupid sound effects, I had to stop watching it.

I had to search on Tivo to find gardening shows, which are mostly shown in wee hours of the morning now. But checking online at the HGTV websites has a listing for all the shows also so I can record them. I do record Paul James' Gardening by the Yard. I think he's still fun to watch & informative even tho they are a few years old sometimes.
I'm really disgusted with HGTV's schedule now. Only design shows when it is 'gardening', & have you noticed how those guys plant things? Dump it out of the pot & stuff it in the hole as fast as they can. Certainly wasn't how I was shown how to do it. And they don't give you enough info about the plants at all. It's all just for show.

Central Texas Gardener is usually shown a few times a week on KLRU but you can also access the shows via their revamped website. Linda, the producer of CTG, has uploaded many wonderful episodes to YouTube & archived many of the shows and segments on the site. Click 'Past Shows' at top left to get the list.

fool4flowers: Central Texas Gardener will air on your PBS station at 11:30 on Saturdays and 5:30 on Sundays. The Killeen station is filling the gap when the Waco station closed.

All Central Texas Gardeners are on Youtube as well and on CTG's website.

Paul James has a website with some good information (see the link below). I saw him when he was at a local home and garden show and people asked him about his show. He said one of the reasons he isn't on HGTV any longer is because they want younger hosts and complained that his garden experts were all old people. But, those are the people who have the experience. If you pay attention to the hosts of the shows on HGTV, they are all young and very nice looking. HGTV believes this is what people want to see. They think that people in their 20's and 30's have more disposable income than those over 40. It seems to me that people in their 20's are just getting established in life - paying off college debts, looking for that first job, looking for a better paying job, etc. I think HGTV totally ignores that group of people who have more time to garden and have more disposable income because their kids are grown and for the most part out of the house. I also see that the shows on HGTV seem to be very elitist since when they do a landscape, the cost is so much more than the average person can afford - like $100K or more. But, look at the size of homes where those landscapes are being installed. I'm not as big of a fan of HGTV as I used to be. I would prefer they had more of the true plant experts on their - not just eye candy.

Yes I found Central Texas Garden shows on again and was very happy. They always have good local info and enjoyed seeing people on the show that post here and getting to see their yards. Nobody I know can afford to do the fancy things they put on the other shows, lol. It would cost more than my house and business and all our automobiles put together. I prefer the real life shows, lol. There used to be one called The Gardeners Diary that gave good individual plant info that cause me to buy quite a bit of stuff online that I try to grow and baby but it mostly pertained to stuff on the east coast and farther north but did find quite a bit of stuff that you don't see here often that will grow here. I would like to see more water garden and pond shows as well.
