  • At the risk of being controversial (!) I thought the gardening content is very light. I know you can't please everybody all of the time, but who is likely to sow 2 different types of grass? Yes, it shows you what you can do, but perhaps feature/follow small, beginner's urban gardens, showing not only the finished article (as they currently do) but planting schemes, weeds and gardening without greenhouses and oodles of money.
    Pup was cute, btw.
    Wait till it digs up the garden - lawn repairs, anyone?

    Utterly lovely puppy.

    Because we were in a hotel bedroom unwinding after a long drive, we watched an earlier ‘garden makeover’ type programme we’d never seen before … it was so badly conceived, badly made and downright grim that GW seemed like an Oscar winner in comparison.

    Aw, I've just watched last night's one and you're right punkdoc, the pup is gorgeous. 
    It was nice to see the Japanese garden in Clackmannanshire too. It's 3 years since I was there and it's fairly come on apace. Absolutely lovely.

    I thought the Japanese garden was gorgeous @Uff, it's such a pity it's so far away from us.  We'll just have to have another holiday in in Scotland!

    Thought the puppy was cute but we're not 'doggy' people so not that interested.

  • I'm not really a dog person either, would never own one. If it was in garden attacking everything like that I would lose my rag in about 10 seconds. I'm happy to watch him doing it in someone else's garden though, Monty can afford to lose the odd plant!
    @Dovefromabove do you mean "your garden made perfect"?

    It might have been that @Crazybeelady ... there was one chap doing a garden for a lady with MS, and even at the end the husband (who will have to tend the garden in the future) looked less than enthusiasic, and another designer painted an already dark, shady and very small back yard  in all over terracotta.  Having owned a space like that, those warm bright colours don't work unless the sun is on them ... they just look depressing and dingy.  Hey ho.  

    It would be interesting to revisit in a couple of years' time. 

    The Japanese garden on GW was absolutely gorgeous!
