    Back this week at 8pm.

    " At Longmeadow, Monty gives a masterclass on the summer pruning of fruit and advice on maintaining ponds, and plants up a pot to give colour and interest to last into the autumn months.

    Adam Frost travels to Brodsworth Hall in South Yorkshire to meet a head gardener who has been set the challenge of restoring the gardens to their 19th-century glory. We meet a young couple at a nursery in Devon to find out about the plants that thrive around water, and in Essex we visit a gardener who loves vibrant colours and changes her plants to suit the season.

    Loved the bit with AF visiting Brodsworth Hall, that's my type of gardening and style. Loved the gardens. I do like formality and neat straight lines. I think I was born in the wrong century.
    I was just the same, l love that style of gardening even though it's considered old fashioned. 
    That is definitely on our list to visit, whenever that may be.

    I must go back to Brodsworth sometime. It's years since I last went, and it's not far from here.

  • Just watching it now...wonder where does the tulip woman find all the money to buy all those tulips every year. Madness to plant them from scratch every year. And all that height looked so overwhelming.

    Another splendid episode. 

    For the first time, I noticed, for the first time, that Sue Kent's name appeared amongst those of the presenters; so, I imagine we are going to see much more of her.
