Beechgrove is back on BBC Scotland. On Monday 11th April the broadcast will include a piece  on the Haddington spring  show which has a small alpine section though whether  it will appear I know not - they spent most of the day at the show but will only use a small proportion of what they filmed. Their main theme will be spring bulbs Those of you at the 'Stirling' show (in Dunblane) last month may  recall me collecting my plants after that show closed as I  spent the afternoon setting up for  the Haddington show.

Stan, I watched the programme this evening. Thought the segment on Haddington was rather good. I was particularly struck by the number of exhibits. I'll look out for the show next year - may be somewhere to exhibit my cut daffs and tulips.

You seemed a natural interviewer - good stuff.

For those who didn't see the show I'm sure that it'll be on BBC iplayer.

Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

For those with access to the BBC radio i-player, you may be interested to hear the Beechgrove Potting Shed from 3rd July.... this features David Mitchell of the RBGEdinburgh ( and  an SRGC member  ;) ) and introduces a new Shed Member, Beryl MacNaugton of MacPlants Nursery and well known member of the RCHS ( Caley) and, of course, the SRGC!
Third member of the panel was Frances Pringle and the programme is presented by Theresea Talbot.

 Dave Mitchell has been a memeber of the Potting Shed panel for a long time and often mentions the Club  ;)

Beryl was a super addition to the team..... lots of sage advice, calmly given.... just what the listener likes to hear!  8)

We have managed to tune in BBC Scotland to our set and can now watch The Beechgrove Garden programme on Monday nights. To date I have been comforted by the amount of rain which seems to fall on the presenters - at least somewhere else gets bad weather also.
