    It would be a big worry if he didn't, @Hostafan1 :o

    “packing it full with tropical plants” - that’ll be a nice change. Yawn. 

    Looking forward to seeing the angels’ fishing rods.

    Me too.  I sowed some seeds very successfully a few years ago in my last garden but none survived very long after being potted on to grow bigger before planting.  I did them in modules to limit root disturbance cos I know they don't like that.

    I'd really like to see a thorough item on a dry (not prairie) garden  - soil prep, plant choices etc instead of endless flipping jungles.   I know MD's garden in Herefordshire is wet and floods in winter but much of the UK and overseas viewers are having to learn to cope with longer and more frequent periods of drought.

    @Hostafan1 - you should consider submitting a video of your annual in and out with all the agapanthus, cannas and hostas.  Not the bananas tho.

    Once the hostas are big enough, they're out, they never go back in. 
    I'm pretty sure it'd be as dull as watching MD raking his veg beds or sowing veg seeds

    Yes, but it would be a home video by someone who knows what they're doing!  Placing and planting of hostas could be instructive for some viewers.

    Can't remember anybody on mentioning this on GW?

    @Chris-P-Bacon certainly aminopyralid contamination has made it into various areas of the  press but not GW as far as I know. I'm still not sure if I have a small amount of this showing in my broad beans, they have extremely twisted stems and I've only got pods on the bottom 8 inches.

    Do I have a memory of the GW mag doing a feature on it a few years ago?
