Loved it. Good to see Monty back and even though his garden is absolutely HUGE it feels like proper gardening is back. Carol is my hero too!

I enjoyed it, especially when Monty talked about his bargain buys! Thought it was a nice mix.

First time I've watched GW for I can't remember how long.

I like Monty Don - but then I liked Toby too - just not the programme that GW had turned into.

I enjoyed the GW last night but also thought it was too short.

I didn't care much for Monty's garden though, as it was too formal for my tastes. If it was mine I would get rid of those manicured box trees and hedges as well as the small conifers in the vegetable garden.

I have only two criticisms, one is called Joe Swift the man is a waste a space, the other is Rachel de Thame nice to look at but thats about all.

I enjoyed it, and I am glad Monty is back.

Just watched the first minute on iplayer and Monty is annoying me already. Why does he puff so much? "This is a lime avenue - so called because these are....limes" you don't say. And he should should bury that jacket next to his dogs. Oh he's as dreary as his evergreen hedges.

I wonder if the team will be allowed to run a muck in Mr don's garden.

I very much doubt it-he's known for being grumpy!

what happened to hos plot ???????????? ::) :o :-X

cornykev · « **Reply #32 on:** March 13, 2011, 12:06:17 »

Ask Borlotti about hos plot. ???

Borlotti · « **Reply #33 on:** March 13, 2011, 12:37:18 »

Another one bites the dust. His plot has been reallocated, think it has been split into three, but will have a look next time I am up there. His raspberries are still there, but the shed has gone. Joe didn't last long after the filming stopped.

:o Too much hard work was it ? ;D

Blimey what a mixed bag of replies, I guess that is one thing GW is sure to generate - opinions :D

Anyway, watched it on Iplayer, very enjoyable. I particularly liked the winter garden with the white bark birches - ghostly but beautiful

I liked it but I do record it to fast forward the boring bits :D
Has Beechgrove Garden started yet?

manicscousers · « **Reply #38 on:** March 13, 2011, 16:53:35 »

Heard Monty on "Loose Ends" last night- he's got a series on Italian gardens starting in April- looking forward to that.
