I would starve starve if that's the case, seven rasps, and three and a half 🍓 strawbs😐 Birds ( but I don't mind, cause they can't go to the shops at the moment )😐🌸😁
Sorry @Dollystocks8 but you're on a hiding to nothing here.
Some of us have been watching GW for 40 years or more and have seen it go thru several re-incarnations. I find that even when it's a professional production team and camera person the bits in Monty's garden are badly shot and don't show what he's doing clearly and nor is there follow-up of processes such as sowing, pricking out, potting on and planting out so it's not instructive and it needs to be that as well as interesting and show some beautiful plants and gardens.
Given they've had thousands of videos sent I find the selection shown each week is quite lazy - showing children gardening is fine as long as they're inspiring. Just being "cute" is not enough. Any other video shown needs to be inspiring too and show what can be done with imagination, ingenuity and know-how. I don't want to see junk yards or weed infested gardens with just one point of possible but uncertain interest. Why would I believe anything such a person has to say when the rest is clearly a disaster?
Monty's garden is claustrophobic. I join @floralies in her inclination to weep at that paradise garden and how often has he redesigned that mound just to do it all again a year or two later? He may be a good, practical, experienced and eloquent gardener but he hasn't got the horticultural or design credentials to get such projects right and it's not just a question of tastes differing. Far too many people on these boards can forecast the likely results.
Have to be an optimist to be a gardener so we live in hope of good bits.

Very little is relevant to me, and that's been the case for a long time.
