I've been making my husband put the plug in when he showers, which is really upsetting him 😁. It's not as bad as having to scoop all the water out like I've been doing!
I can't decide whether the programme has had a change of producer/director *, but yet again l watched it the whole way through.
I particularly enjoyed the "previous brownfield site" garden and the hairstylist's garden. I think it was just nice to see colourful plants and a green lawn ! I could definitely see the Great Dixter influence.
*There was a shot of Monty standing at a top of a ladder talking directly to camera which struck me as something a bit different. I wish he'd worn some form of eye protection when he was dealing with that rose. I could hardly bear to look.
I concur with the tomato lady in Suffolk…..dead jealous of those lovely toms. I grew some “midnight snack” (a red and black variety) a couple of years ago, delicious! This year I’m trying green zebra, it’s not ready to pick yet so I don’t know how it’ll taste. I must look out for that huge one, I think it was called black pineapple, what a stunner.
I cringed when tomato lady put a big knife through a tom with her hand underneath, please don't try that at home. What was the name she/they gave to the group (not the specific type) of toms she was growing? It's something I forgot and need to follow up.

I have a dream that my.. children.. one day.. will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character

Get him to scoop it out too and carry it to the garden.
I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
