Another 24 hours of saving money for me!! I'm never even tempted to looking to see what's on. Just like all those lame Christmas toy shows, the Black Hills Gold, and even the St. Patrick's Day shows - 24 hours of such limited, basic products is so easy to skip. It's the same exact merchandise every single year. No,thanks. Again.

It's spring. Many people would rather spend their time working in their yards and creating beauty or growing food for their tables than worrying if they are carrying the latest trendy handbag.

I'm one of those people, RedHead. I love having a nice yard and growing my own food. I've never had any luck with Cottage Farms. I've ordered their hanging strawberries and tomato plants - both huge fails. I know they offer a guarantee, but who's going to bother? I've never had a problem with my local Lowes or local nursery. How do you kill 6+ tomato plants?? In the Midwest, no less!! No more mail order plants for me. Very disappointing.

Gardening shows remind of Christmas from June through December....

Ugh....this is spring show overload.......I will not be watching, again.

I don't usually watch ,no matter what is on. I got so tired of the same ole, same ole - I just gave up. I am one who use to have QVC on -almost 24/7.

Back when the big screens first came out - I will never forget , the QVC logo was "burned " into the the tv screen. No matter what channel you watched, you could see the QVC logo! Those days are long gone!

I totally agree. I love Spring and can't wait to get outdoors and working in the gardens.

Well, batten down the hatches, because the oft repetitive Q has also planned a day of Wen on Saturday and another More-Than-A-Blender marathon on Sunday. I won't be watching either day... They really need some new material. The old act has grown very stale.

Yes, spring is in the air, but that really needn't mean endless gardening shows, featuring endless presentations from the same two vendors that've been featured, seemingly, since the beginning of time. QVC needs to learn how to mix it up.

Not wanting to watch the Q's gardening extravaganza has nothing to do with "not wanting a beautiful garden and yard."

It has to do with all the qrap they sell that you can get locally, any day of the week, for a lot less money.

I think it's killing them that the weather around much of the country is still bad. Snow tomorrow here!

Their programming has gotten so pathetic of late that I hardly watch. Last evening, I thought I'd settle in to watch Jill's show. The entire first half hour turned into yet another presentation of the Lenox TSV. I turned it off mid-way and watched tennis. When I checked back in once towards the end of the first half hour, the presentation was still going strong. And after checking out the program guide for today, nothing to watch there for me either.

Glad I have HSN to look forward to on Tuesday…..all day craft day! I realize that doesn't' appeal to some others, but for me, it's my favorite shopping channel day.

Amen, sister!

I no longer have a garden, but when I did, I used to have a field day at local nurseries and home centers. There is no earthly reason for me to order plant and garden materials from QVC. Even if Roberta's and Cottage Farms present items not generally available, odds are a local nursery can order them for you and let's face it, a local guarantee is so much easier to invoke when necessary... And that's assuming that some of us just can't live without some of those very unusual and unique offerings... Personally, I think a garden can be just beautiful based on plantings local outlets know thrive in the local climate and soil.

And as for today's TSV... two sizes... two colors... both brown... really...?

Unfortunately, I've already watched some of a Roberta's show and ordered a peony set. I've been stung before and swore I would order, lol, but a lot of these variety can't be found in local nurseries. If my stuff doesn't grow, I'm definitely going to get a replacement. They don't give refunds. Just call me sucker, lol.

Really? This sounds awful, but it must be worth it for QVC or it wouldn't be taking place.

I don't mind watching the gardening shows but not planting much with water restrictions in our state.

I can't believe it's such a hardship for anyone to not have anything to watch on a shopping channel for an entire day! I think you should count your blessings, to be honest.

It's hard for me to think about gardening when we have snow on the ground and will have more snow tomorrow.
