It wasn't Monty I started the string about, but the continuity flaws that keep appearing that make me laugh. I wonder if anyone really watches it before it goes out.
Hosta, you have said that you met Monty and found him arrogant and bossy etc etc etc.
I most certainly did not as I have not. Please find the quote where I said I'd met him. Factual accuracy is all I crave from Monty, and in this case, from you @Fire.
Maybe he uses environmentally-friendly washing up liquid. I find that the froth from those kinds doesn't last long, so if there was some time between the two shots the froth could have disappeared all on its own.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I didn't see the frothy bowl (was multi-tasking on iPad) but I did happen to look up and see the bowl of 'washing-up' water going on the plants. I thought at the time that it looked nothing like the water after I've washed up ....
I don't use washing up water on the garden because it has detergent, grease and tiny bits of cooked food in it - and I don't want to attract vermin or harm beneficial critters.
However, I often have a bowl of non-soapy water on the go for rinsing hands, cloths, prepping veg etc and that always goes on the garden.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
given how long it takes to make the programme and how many times the same 'shot' will be redone and retaken, I would imagine the bowl of washing up water went on the plants in the early stages and subsequent retakes used water out of the rain barrel.
It would be pretty silly for them to keep using soap to make 'dishwater' to chuck over the same poor shrub endless times in order to get the final shot right. It's one thing using used dishwater (in which the soap will have been at least partly broken down) to water your plants 'in extremis' when other water is in short supply. It's quite another to throw a dozen bowls of clean soapy water over one plant in order to make a TV show.
Have some pity on the poor plants

I also noticed the continuity error
