    Just lovely to have it back.
    Highlight for me, CK at Bressingham.
    How can you lie there and think of England

  • Me too @punkdoc, loved some of the slow growing conifers.

    Major highlight for you @Hostafan1!  He's finally seen the light and dug up all that dreadful box.   Kept going on about how much more space and light there is and "planting opportunities" now they don't all have to be tall enough to get above the box.

    Doh!

    What an improvement with the removal of the box plants !  I enjoyed it, thought it had a "magazine" feel.
    The young man who completely redesigned his front garden was a real inspiration, but l would like to know where the wheelie bins ended up.
    Always loved Bressingham.

    It certainly makes the whole thing seem less oppressive.

    But why is it on at 9pm? We have seen children (in the home videos) who are interested but it's on too late for them. 
    East Dorset, new (to me) rather neglected garden.

    I still enjoy GW, but mostly just the Monty in his garden bits. I have zero interest in the home made videos of viewers gardens, in fact those parts annoy me, especially when its kids doing the bit to camera. 

    BBC has a bit too much obvious box ticking in GW, but that's to be expected with them I guess.

    The allotment sections are never consistent, a few years ago we had Joe Swift supposedly take on an allotment, scraping the couch grass off, but then that disappeared by the following year. Last year we had Frances Tophill start an allotment, but Im expecting that to go the same way.

    Great to have it back though.

    I was moderately interested throughout - 6/10 I’d say. I thought the home videos were OK and, unlike some last season, earned their place on a gardening programme. 

    For me, 9.00 pm is a great time. Dinner is finished, washing up done and plenty of time to settle down to watch it. The programme is one of the very few I will make an effort to watch and have logged in my head when it is on.
