Last season I seemed to be in a minority in thinking most of the viewers’ videos were pretty dire with too much emphasis on the gardeners rather than the gardens.This season I am picking up a switch in opinions with many more now saying the home made videos are often not worth watching.
In a way the houseboat feature classifies as a sort of viewer’s video. But was it the same clip as last year? I paid little attention to it but I think last year there were more sentences starting with superfluous so’s and more chewily indigestible commentary from the houseboat owner.
I think it was the same clip as last year (maybe edited a bit differently, not sure). Generally I think the viewers' videos are a mixed bag. Many aren't interesting to me, but some are, mostly when they have interesting plants or growing techniques and focus the camera on that, not themselves/their children.

I've only watched half of it so far but I quite liked the lady with the house plants. Not that I want to grow them but at least it was a change from the 'tropical' gardens. Fashion can be tedious.
