I hate it when Monty wastes seaweed fertiliser why not water plants in a container to collect the liquid instead of letting it run out of the pot and onto the floor.
Because some of his containers are so large, you would need a crane to lift them. I'm sorry life is too short to go round putting containers under pots before I feed them.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
@barry island agree, and also saving water is important.
I cleaned all my pots today in a bucket of water and did the final bit with a hosepipe over the bed which was newly planted. We have no rain for more than 6 weeks and have to be careful what we use.
I soaked some pots that were very dry today by standing them in containers I just couldn't help myself from saving all of the water runoff to water other plants it just seems the right thing to do if life isn't too short to do it.
Not here to slag off GW. I saw recently a segment on a large garden (maybe an acre+) with long borders which a young woman had planted up on her own during lock down, using spreadsheets. I can't remember where I saw it. Was it on GW in the last six weeks? Does it ring a bell? Thanks
" Gardeners’ World comes from the RHS Malvern Spring Festival. Adam Frost and Arit Anderson reveal the highlights of the show gardens and this year’s must-have flowers and plants on display in the Floral Marquee.
We meet a pond plant specialist in Lincolnshire who is exhibiting at the festival for the first time, and in the run-up to the show, we visit a family nursery with a passion for the jewel-like auricula.
Carol Klein celebrates the range of blossom on show at this time of year at Batsford Arboretum in the Cotswolds, and in Worcestershire Nick Bailey revels in one of the stars of the early summer garden – the peony. "
Enjoyed the peonies and the visit to Batsford, but l'd have liked to see more of the Malvern Show. I know it wasn't as big as in previous years but there must have been a lot they didn't show. The bluebell wood section was a bit "out of left field", l thought l'd dropped off and woken up in the middle of one of those slow programmes they show on BBC 4.

I ♥ my garden.
Edited to add, it might be this one, the visit with Rachel de Thame ?
