I was so disappointed when it was taken off the air. I also have some recorded episodes that I watch over and over. Did I read an old post that the show will again be aired on HGTV on Fridays at 7:00? I think the quality of programming on HGTV has sunk to a level that isn't worth watching any more. I hope that Gardener's Diary is brought back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437828483628196880.post-79463452605862395342012-03-20T18:28:40.807-07:002012-03-20T18:28:40.807-07:00Brian, Thank you so much.

Kathryn and I lament constantly that there is no demand for this kind of programming. <br>When my daughter comes home in the summer, I'll get her to see about the white text and font. I know so little that I have no idea how to fix it. She is graduating from law school in May and moving at the end of June. I think she's pretty overwhelmed right now. But, I do need to make this where it can be read easily.<br>I greatly enjoyed your comments and just now figured out how to answer. I had gone through tons of posts to find it, and then I just landed on something that told me immediately where this was. <br>Sending you my best, MarthaMartha Smith Tatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06790579950460365943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437828483628196880.post-92022417319556131262012-03-19T21:41:03.328-07:002012-03-19T21:41:03.328-07:00Forgive me for writing so much, but I'm excite...Forgive me for writing so much, but I'm excited.<br><br>I found your blog by way of Pinterest and I'm SO GLAD I did! Though late to the joy that was "A Gardener's Diary," my mom and I would set the VCR and watch the episodes over and over. When I read that the program would not continue to air, I actually wrote to (well, e-mailed) HGTV to ask that they reconsider. It didn't work. Obviously, haha. But I always had those dozen or so episodes on tape. I just didn't have a VCR to play them anymore— such is the flow of technology. However, now I'm thrilled that I can watch them online! I told my mom and we became giddy. I am also hoping that they will upload every episode. All 225 of them!<br><br>I think "A Gardener's Diary" was a great program because of the feeling it always evoked in me. I thought, "There are people who are passionate about ornamental plants just like me," while at the same time feeling relaxed and refreshed like I'd just been on a vacation. The show was also inspiring beyond words. I continue to think about some of those gardeners and wonder how they are, what they're doing, and how might have their gardens have changed since filmed.<br><br>I look forward to exploring your blog, I'll add it to my Google Reader. :) And I'll work hard this year to garden, maybe someday creating something worthy of "A Garden's Diary."<br><br>Side note: Allan's multi-color print comment a couple months ago may have been referring to either the white text on green or perhaps the font itself. For some, light text on a dark background can be tiring for the eyes to read. The font here is a little tricky for me to read because when a font has anti-aliasing, it can look blurry. A smaller/older monitor or customized browser settings can make some sites illegible as well. I hope that helps. Ultimately, the content (here, your words and the images) is more important because RSS feed readers like Google Reader will present the text without the font, if that makes sense.<br><br>Again, sorry for writing so much. I'm going to have to start my own blog!Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437828483628196880.post-38906025173470882472012-02-24T01:30:53.528-08:002012-02-24T01:30:53.528-08:00It must have been hard to create a pathway like th...It must have been hard to create a pathway like that.

I guess that's why I checked again tonight to see if it was being shown online. I found the episodes on Hulu, one of them is the one with the moss garden. I hope they are all on Hulu, eventually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437828483628196880.post-90905736808050948062012-01-07T09:19:55.411-08:002012-01-07T09:19:55.411-08:00Thank you!

This is so embarrassing. I'm looking around to see if I can tell what this is. Is it the lighter green? I'm going to e-mail my daughter who fixed this up for me if she knows what to do. I sure appreciate your letting me know, so I can try to get it fixed.Martha Smith Tatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06790579950460365943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437828483628196880.post-68669604079377847222012-01-06T09:12:07.507-08:002012-01-06T09:12:07.507-08:00I love your blog but had difficulty reading the mu...I love your blog but had difficulty reading the multicolor print.allan beckerhttp://allanbecker-gardenguru.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437828483628196880.post-79052488481561132052012-01-05T12:02:18.370-08:002012-01-05T12:02:18.370-08:00This was always my favorite show on HGTV and I was...This was always my favorite show on HGTV and I was one of the ones begging for reruns, boxed sets, etc. I have quite a few of the episodes on VCR tapes, now sadly obsolete.<br><br>It is not surprising that your blog is one of my favorite garden blogs! <br><br>Thanks for the great news!Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16279705866647612344noreply@blogger.com
