My Sunday morning routine used to be to watch Gardening by the Yard and read the newspaper. Now it is to read the newspaper and avoid HGTV. I have sent them several e-mails, all of which have been ignored. I no longer watch HGTV.

Here it is, more than a year later – people STILL miss the show. HGTV execs are extremely disconnected from the audience; years ago I wrote them about the shift from real shows to the current reliance on the mega-mansion and spending mega dollars. Surprise, no response. Paul James was credible, reliable, intelligent, entertaining, educated on his subject…

With the growing interest in green lifestyle, the BP disaster, we need a show that helps America learn about gardening – and it’s more than paying an underpaid illegal worker to cut your lawn – and less than paying $100K for a crew to come in a create a life-size waterfall and lake in your desert backyard. A sanity check please!

I used to watch HGTV constantly – there was a entire line-up of appealing shows. Now, they seem to cater to those that built the mega-mansions and fueled the current real estate crisis of buying more than you can afford. Perhaps they should share the blame for our current real estate market. If I see one more HGTV “House Hunters” where they choose the house that costs more than their budget, I’ll scream. Isn’t that how the country got into this mess?

What a mistake from the execs at HGTV.

I have been looking for Paul’s show, thought maybe I was waiting new season. Now that it is cancelled I will be reducing my cable bill by elimating hgtv. The programs keep getting lamer and lamer. Paul had the only worth while program, especially on gardening that was on t.v.

Gardening By the Yard was part of my our week end routine. We loved the show and Paul. He was inspirational. We miss Paul and the show so much. Bring Paul Back !!!

Has anyone else contacted HGTV about canceling Paul. I did about 2 months ago and they have not answered the e-mail as of yet. I don’t watch HGTV any more. Thanks Don

Gardening by the Yard was THE best gardening show on HGTV! Lots of good info and Paul James is very down-to-earth (pun intended). There are very few informational gardening shows on HGTV. I can’t relate to expensive landscaping shows and I’m tired of seeing “how to fix up my home to sell” shows.
Bring Paul back!

I have missed Gardening by the yard and wondered
what happened to it. Paul’s gardening program is the very best of all. He has it all,Personality, a wealth of knowledge, witty puns and appealing to all age groups. This is my favorite!
