Five more sleeps before Fridays become again the start of the weekends. Four first Fridays (what an alliteration!!) to remind us of last summer and get us chomping at the bit.
Winters always seem interminable to me without GW, Monty AND the dogs.

Until some sport comes along, or something the BBC thinks is more interesting, and then Friday evenings become Friday nights or Saturday on catch-up. I know I'm sounding like an old duffer but it's so nice to have a definite time-slot to look forward to each week.
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
I always enjoy it when GW returns. Monty's soporific " Hello, welcome to Gardeners World" sends my wife to sleep in no time at all. Since she doesn't snore, I get an hour of quiet TV viewing!! Adam Frost's voice doesn't have the same effect. So I'm a Monty fan!!
We had a very pleasant day, so I decided to do some gardening. Unfortunately, a nettle met my weeding hand and that put an end to my ambition; but the considerable discomfort made sure I couldn't forget that it's Gardeners' World night tonight. Every cloud...
I have a dream that my.. children.. one day..

" The team celebrates the joy that gardens and gardening can bring by looking back at some of their seasonal highlights.
Monty Don harvests tomatoes from the greenhouse and plants out some of his favourite flowers for long-lasting summer colour, heleniums.
Carol Klein pays an inspirational trip to an early summer garden in Wiltshire, Toby Buckland meets a passionate gardener in Devon who has created and nurtured her garden over the last 60 years, and Rachel de Thame visits the garden of hairstylist Sam McKnight.
There's also a young gardener in Cumbria with a passion for dahlias and a dedicated grower whose allotment is towering with structural plants, as well as another look at films from viewers' own gardens."
Enjoyed it despite having seen it all before. But I'd forgotten just how impressive that garden is that Carol visited. What an achievement (the garden that is)!

That was my favourite part too @LunarSea . I would like to see it at other times of year to see how they manage successional planting - repeat visits in August and March would be nice.

You certainly don't to me.
I totally agree, LunarSea.

Adam's cockney voice is lovely...
