    The house boat was new to me, probably because I paid no attention first time round and wish I hadn’t bothered this time. Ditto the final viewer’s clip, the young woman with toys in the garden, but I liked very much seeing the other gardens on the home videos.

    And I loved the wiggy wig bush, immediately wanting one but could think of nowhere in the garden where it could be well integrated.

    I have a friend who lives on a canal boat.  Definitely not as romantic as Monty thinks... roasting hot in summer and freezing (or dripping with condensation) in the winter.  Plus you have to empty the loo...   :/

    I was pleased to see Craig of the tiny tropical garden, which I have been following on YouTube for a while. If you like tropical plants, his channel is worth binge-watching, loads of advice and plant trials.

    I hear you on the video repeats, but I guess it's more difficult to fill the whole hour with original GW content considering filming conditions must still be restricted.

    Nice show, relaxing, enjoyed it.

    A bit jealous of those hellebores and snow drops.  My hellebores lost their flowers ages ago, and the snowdrops have come up but look pretty sparse - maybe should have ignored the planting advice!

    I agree on the houseboat segment - perhaps mildly interesting first time around but not as a repeat. Surely they must have some new viewer videos that they could show if they need to fill the time, although personally I'd rather see more of Adam's garden.

    Ditto: much more of Adam's garden and  fewer viewers' vids.

    On the plus side, I didn't notice any gratuitous dog shots this week.

    However, @chicky, she does have a kingfisher which regularly uses the prow of her boat as a fishing perch...   <3
