    Can anyone tell me if there is another repeat of fridays programme? I usually record the Sunday morning one but for some reason known only to itself my humax box decided to record country file instead, I have a feeling it might be later in the week?

    9pm this week.

    "This week’s episode comes from Adam Frost’s garden.

    Arit Anderson discovers a paradise garden in Cambridge which has become a focal point for the local community, and Frances Tophill shares the joy of collecting and saving heirloom vegetable seeds on a visit to Pembrokeshire.

    There's a passionate grower in Somerset who has a unique take on companion planting in his productive plot, and in Wolverhampton there's a gardener who, through clever design and planting, has transformed a long narrow plot into a magical space to get lost in. Also, more Gardeners’ World viewers share what they’ve been getting up to in their gardens "

    I used to really enjoy 'Real Gardens' too, @chicky and I have rewatched them at some point in the past couple of years so they're out there somewhere... Can't remember where though! Don't think it was YouTube. 

    PS Found it! Available on All4 🙂

    9pm this week.

    "Adam Frost and Advolly Richmond celebrate the horticultural genius of William Robinson in the gardens of his former home, Gravetye Manor in Sussex.

    Fresh off the back of her success at Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, Sue Kent gives her own garden some TLC and creates a special container display using small pots. There's also a passionate grower in London who uses every available space in his garden to grow a vast range of vegetables, and in Manchester is a gardener who is inspiring his local community after transforming the alley behind his house into a floral paradise."

    It was great to see my 'stamping ground' - Sheffield Botanic Gardens - shown in the Gravetye Manor feature. It shows beds I've actually worked in and repeatedly shows the Helianthus 'Miss Mellish' which was the source of the one in my garden. However I'm struggling to see how this distant extra shoot could have been justified, especially given Advolly's appearance in Sheffield and it's short duration, just to illustrate a connection between William Robinson and Robert Marnock.

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