Where have all the good t.v. gardeneing shows gone?

Where are t.v. southern gardening shows?

Many folks new to gardening formerly relied upon advice from gardening shows. HGTV carries a show 1-2 times a month. A.P.T. in Birmingham carries "The Victory Garden", run for 31 years out of Mass. Would it be rational for a southerner to follow advice from a Zone 4/5 Massachusetts gardener?

Good southern gardening shows should include ornamental as well as vegetable and fruits, and propagation too.

I really miss the old gardening programs by Martha Stewart,and Gary Allen "Landscape by Design". I did not like what Gary Allen did to his program toward the end, he should have re-named it," Projects for My New Home". I use to watch a gardening show before I went to work every morning, now I do not watch TV, or just watch the news. Barbra,

HGTV has almost no gardening programs either any more.
Tally HO!
