    I think the great thing about Bressingham and that section of the programme is that it showed you what conifers can contribute to a garden when used with real imagination ... the practical stuff we can look up ourselves once we’ve been bitten by the bug 😊 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I found the programme quite interesting and was able to ignore the dogs in the way you ignore pop up ads.

    Thought it was a good opener, nice to see the paradise garden beginning to take shape.

    I see Crufts is on at the moment. I wonder if they show lingering shots of daffodils.

    Really enjoyed it.
    If you didn't, perhaps you should watch something else.
    Daft comment.  How would you know whether you would enjoy it or not without viewing it?

    I liked the tropical garden. Does anyone know the name of that fucshia?

    Not a daft comment.
    Many people appear to watch it week after week whilst continually moaning about it.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    I knew you'd be swooning about that garden!  They didn't name the fuchsia, just said it was a species.  Fuchsia dependens?

    Shame that .
    I wonder if @Lyn might know? She's mad crazy about fucshias.

    There's a chap called Dave Green who's written a book on fuchsia species with what looks like that fuchsia on the cover.   If not one of the "dependens" it might be a "splendens".
