Topic: 'Pennine Kitchen & Garden' DVD's...any good?

[Deb P]

In December's Kitchen Garden magazine, I see there is an offer on the 'A Pennine Kitchen & Garden' DVD's , 13 DVD's for £60. Each disc covers a month of 2008.

I've looked at these several times and wondered what they are like....has anyone seen them? Any good? ???

[Deb P]

Bump.

 No one seen these then? ???

Like you I have seen them advertised and wondered what they are like but as I am on the only growing enthusiast in the house, I would need to book a slot to watch them.  that is most likely to during the day and I could be at the allotment :D

I've seen them, deb..always thought them a bit pricey..we bought 'the alotment' dvd, love it and 15  episodes ,  :)

I agree....I was only looking at them because they were half price, still not cheap!! I love The Allotment dvd's, never get fed up of watching them. ;D

Oh which *Allotment* videos do you mean, please

[manicscousers]

it's called 'the allotment'..we got the dvd on amazon, I think..just had a quick look  :o
35.00, we paid about 10.00 and I though that was a lot  :o
must be because allotments are 'in  ::)

There it is....I think I would wait until one comes up on eBay, £35 on Amazon?!
Or you can get it for £17 from here:

I got Feb 2007, as a free gift with a magazine I think, and actually started to watch it last weekend. I have to say it wasn't riveting, but then there's not a huge amount to be doing in February! I'm more than happy to send it to you so that you can try before you buy ;D I got as far as making homemade mushroom soup and I'm afraid I lost interest... but I'm sure the more gardeny months are much better viewing!

[Deb P]

Oh dear. that doesn't sound promising! Thanks for the kind offer, but I think I will pass after your assessment! ;D

I watched a really good DVD based on the seasons work at the Heligan gardens the other day, it was really good and I would recommend that to anyone...and it is a lot cheaper than the other set!

I've considered them Deb, as it is my home ground... but the price...
to be honest there won't be much gardeneing done in the Pennines in February..  ::)
