Yes I thought tonight's programme was one of the most enjoyable ever. I think they should give Rachel the reins more often. In fact, come to think of it, the reason I enjoyed it so much was because Adam Frost didn't appear at all.
I'm the same when one of the other presenters is absent
@Liriodendron, I had the same problem on my Nero kale..... Eaten to shreds by cabbage white....I decided to pick them off by hand unless I thought it an unusual caterpillar and threw them in the corner of the garden where I feed ground feeding birds. My idea is that as long I can keep the plants alive, the caterpillars will be gone by the time I need to harvest. Already the kale plants have recovered from their skeletal state same with the Brussels and PSB. So far so good..... Really enjoyed this episode
Another who who really enjoyed last night's programme. It seemed to have a lighter tone somehow. Perhaps it was less "preachy" and more factual. All the contributors seemed to come across well.
Fascinating reading all your comments, it shows how difficult it is to please all of us. I found it rather dull, there was nothing new for me at all. It was however still a great relief to watch it, rather than the alternatives.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

My alternative was iPlayer. I've not watched any Live TV since she died.
I liked the soil under the microscope stuff; we hear about all these mystical organisms that live in there but it's hard to imagine what they look like.
" After a short break, Monty’s back at Longmeadow. With a change of seasons, he demonstrates how to prune summer-fruiting raspberries, divides perennials and plants daffodils and hyacinths in containers.
Carol Klein visits a glorious walled garden in Shropshire, where self-seeding plants have been used to great effect. The celebration of the Queen’s Green Canopy continues as JJ Chalmers heads to North Yorkshire to meet two people for whom trees have played a significant role in their lives. There's also a couple who have created a tropical garden paradise in Lincolnshire.
In south London, a gardener shares the huge array of unusual vegetables she’s been growing on her allotment, and Gardeners’ World viewers share what they’ve been getting up to in their gardens."
