Allotments 4 All

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.

Bring back Bob Flowerdew :D :D :D :D

I second that, i think the powers that be think he has a radio face. Always enjoyed he spot!

 ;D  Good show last night i thought  :D

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!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

yea

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

Ask Borlotti about hos plot.    ???

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

old ones on blighty today  :)

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

no, Duke, think that's april  :-\
yep, april 4th  ;D

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