It is a good job we are all different. I laughed a lot at the Susan Calman piece, and I thought it would be useful for a total novice.....don't worry, have fun.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I was very impressed with Monty's terracotta pot with the removable bottom! I could have done with one of those when i was trying to prise out a large dahlia from its pot this week. I had to make do with lots of water and bouncing up and down. Got there in the end though.
" Monty gives advice on plants to use for foliage with tropical proportions and shows us how to plant them to suit their needs, gives a masterclass on herbs to grow in shady areas of the garden and sows sweetcorn and cucumbers for summer harvests.

The compost manufacturing piece could be interesting. Maybe they'll be able to explain why peat-free compost is so inconsistent and why they don't always screen out the bits of plastic and other rubbish.

I loved the Susan Calman piece too. I couldn't believe Nick planting Cares Pendula Looking forward to Jungle leaves. Makes a nice change from MD raking his veg garden. No need for more yet lecturing about peat, so I'll FF that bit.
@JennyJ. I couldnt agree more,I bought what is considered a good compost,but the rubbish that gets put in with it is nothing less than disgusting. Found inch across bits of wood,foil and plastic. I will riddle it next time!
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
I also was inertested by the fact that not all peat free compost suits all plants, so how are we to garden in the future, have bags with instructions on for which plants to use it for.🤔

The compost I have just purchased had pieces of timber in it which looked like sections of old trellis!
