There are a lot of great memories attached to Victory Garden. I think most of us who watched it as kids remember Jim Crockett as a warm and friendly presence. There are still things I do in my garden today that I learned from watching him. I also love that the show wasn't afraid to tackle tough issues, like the corn borer infestation Jim talks about in this episode.

I do have one request, though. Would it be possible to upload some more episodes that use the original "Gaspe Reel" theme song? I love that tune, and I miss hearing it at the beginning of every show. Thanks!👍
