I thought it was ok but don't get why they gave so much time to guy who does the drag, a relatively new gardener who didn't do anything to inspire me and my wife simply said "what's he teaching us".
I wanted to see loads more of the plants and all the knowledgeable nursery owners. I quite liked Frances garden. I really wanted to see the Eryngium that kept floating through the camera work.

It's strange, but l sat through it all again this week without any fast forwarding
I think it might be because Monty is doing more practical things, or maybe it's the time of year and the long Summer evenings. I was very impressed with the Spurs kitchen garden, does he maintain all that on his own ?
The "high maintenance" garden - l hadn't realised that mine is heading in that direction. I could relate to that. The lady's enthusiasm was quite something.
Ordnance House garden was very pretty but l'm not sure if it warranted Carol Klein's high praise. I do appreciate that sometimes it's very difficult to get the "feel" of a garden through the TV screen. During the programme l looked it up online and apparently it was voted "Best Back Garden" in an RHS competition in association with the One Show in 2020. That's one heck of a back garden !
I couldn't understand how Carol Klein could be so impressed by the Ordnance House garden either @AnniD. She loves her plants and there weren't that many in evidence there. But then I'm not a great fan of topiary and little hedges round bits of beds. Loved the high maintenance garden though. Is Monty's garden getting too overgrown do you think? His paths seem very narrow and he is always have to push stuff back to get to other stuff. Apart from the Mount - those sloping beds don't seem to be working well.
I'm wondering why we haven't seen Advolly Richmond this year, I really enjoy her pieces. I'd had no idea Alton Towers had such amazing gardens. Planning a visit this summer, OH taking the teenager on the rides and I'm losing myself in the gardens. Thanks, Advolly! 😁
It's knowing what to do with things that counts - Robert Frost
I think Monty's garden has always been like that @didyw, l can't recall a time when he didn't have to push things back/step over things to plant something . Fair enough it is his garden, but when he plants things amongst a load of other plants l wonder what chance they have. I feel like rushing in , moving or cutting back stuff and giving them more light and space !
when he did the Paradise garden , the paths were so narrow, I thought were going to be rills. Later he was working and he had to put one foot on the bed. What's the point of a " path " which isn't even wide enough to have 2 feet side by side? All the paths in the garden are, IMHO too narrow. Even the dogs can't walk side by side.
" Monty plants out sweetcorn, checks in on his container veg and creates a display with fuchsias.
Nick Bailey visits a nurserywoman and gardener in Cheshire who uses perennials as the stars of the garden to provide interest throughout the year. With only a few weeks to go, Sue Kent shares an update on the progress of her first ever show garden, destined for the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. And there's a gardener in Somerset who couldn’t live without roses in her garden.
Also tonight, more Gardeners’ World viewers share what they’ve been getting up to in their gardens."

I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
