QVC gardening is far far too expensive. Top branded items that you can get on the high street for a few pounds cost a huge sum on QVC under Richard Jackson label.

Cultural instructions:

• Open packaging immediately on receipt and stand upright where appropriate
• When growing in containers, don’t fill to the brim with compost. Leave up to 2.5cm (1") of pot on show to allow for watering - halve this for small pots and cell trays
• If growing on the windowsill, turn plants regularly to prevent them stretching towards the light
• Pots should always have drainage holes, but place on saucers/trays to prevent surface staining. It also helps retain extra water during summer heat
• Always water prior to planting or potting on
• Prepare soils ahead of planting. For the best establishment, work Incredicompost and Incredibloom Fertiliser into the growing area. These will also give you the best results in container displays too. Alternatively opt for regular liquid feeds through the season, starting at six weeks after planting
• Avoid planting when soils are too wet or frozen
• Plant dahlia tubers outdoors in May after all risk of frost has passed
• Choose a sunny position in moist well-drained soil
• Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of well-rotted manure or compost
• Plant tubers at a depth of 15cm (6") and water well
• Alternatively, start tubers into growth in pots of compost in a frost-free greenhouse
• Transplant them into their final positions outdoors in May once risk of frost has passed
• Feed and water dahlias regularly throughout the growing season
• While dahlia plants are still young, pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage bushier growth and masses of flowers
• Deadhead faded dahlia flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced
• Dahlia tubers can be lifted in autumn and stored over winter in trays of peat, sand or wood shavings in a cool but frost-free position if required. They can be potted up the following spring

Lidl have got a special offer on Bird Food on the 9th February.

I don't know why they don't mix up their shows a bit more.

Today is ALL DAY on gardening, so anyone without a garden or not interested in gardening will not even bother to turn on.

Same as fashion or beauty days, I don't even bother to look at the items.

On the other hand, a whole day of non-stop gadgets would be good

In days past Mr CC would watch DIY and he does sometimes watch the gardening shows so he can sit and moan all the way through them and spoil it for me. I bought him a convertible workbench that becomes a trolley and a decorating station and he loves it and it's well used so QVC isn't all bad!
