The Gardeners' World Blog

I hesitated before sharing this picture. The sight of BBC staff brainstorming the website's future in the May sunshine is probably meat and drink to some of our critics. But I want this blog to be genuinely behind the scenes and of course sometimes that means we talk about what we do and where we're going - with flipcharts.

So yesterday a few of us were at the BBC's R&D HQ to discuss the future of the site in a web 2.0 world. Those who commented last weekend can be reassured - we didn't spend all day talking about the wonders of user-generated content.

One thing worried me though. When most of us talked about what we've enjoyed doing the most on the web, so many examples were from years ago, almost a decade in some cases. Are we all a bit jaded or is this something more serious?
