Tales From the Box

Look I am fan of Don Burke. I was overjoyed when he returned to the airwaves on 2UE about 12 months ago – my Saturdays are spent digging and tending my yard listening to the podcasts of Burke’s Backyard.

Now he is back on the telly. You can watch his segments online here at the Burke’s Backyard website.

I would rather more than the 8 minutes that I get on A Current Affair – but frankly 8 minutes is better than the none we have had for the last 5 years. I think it is his wise yet matter-of-fact approach to gardening & landscaping with a honed focus on the Australian environment (thus Australian natives plants and how best to use them) that makes him so engaging to watch and listen to. I know that his production company CTC was behind Backyard Blitz which had the same authentic knowledge of useful garden bits and pieces. So Yay at Don’s return!
