I love those Norfolk places too but we are in Dordogne at the moment.
I enjoyed the latest GW. There will be no more bananas Monty has planted out all his tender plants in a sheltered spot and if they die that's it. Not ecological. I expect bananas and elderly cannas are very heavy and he is getting older.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Great news about bananas disappearing from GW. For years there was a segment about getting the things out of storage, unwrapping etc, and then one showing the reverse process. I suspect those who actually had the things were (a) very small in number and (b) learnt how to manage them.
Logan spoke superbly well i thought. I couldn't believe how a lad so young could say the things he said. I wish him well and i hope we see more of him in future episodes.
I've just seen Ronnie O'Sullivan at the garden center. I think he was eyeing up a plant.
I wasn't quite sure how old he was @HarryWhite, but l thought it was so sad, the way today's youngsters have so much pressure and stress. I thank the fates that l was born when l was, and the childhood that l had. (l know it's not the same for everyone). Something tells me Monty wasn't really looking forward to his week at Chelsea
"Monty creates colourful planting schemes with trailing plants. He also plants out cabbages in the vegetable garden and shares a clever tip for dealing with your spent tulips.
Toby Buckland revels in the superb displays of roses at Mount Ephraim Gardens in Kent. And there's a return visit to the Linn Botanic Gardens in Argyll and Bute, where owner Matthew Young gets some sage advice about the precious and rare trees in his collection.
Carol Klein visits a nursery that is growing thousands of plants for her show garden at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. Sue Kent discovers heirloom vegetable varieties that are easy to cultivate and harvest at the Heritage Seed Library in Warwickshire. And there's a passionate houseplant enthusiast who has created an indoor garden in her living room.
Also, more of the films that have been sent in by viewers."
Linn botanic garden restoration deserves a programme in its own right if I were ever north of Glasgow when it opens I would give it a visit. I love the idea of having a houseplant jungle but we struggle keeping humidity down in our house as it is without having to mist plants.
I enjoyed this week's programme, especially Toby's visit to Mount Ephraim. I'm looking forward to seeing how Carol's show garden turns out. I felt that Monty was quite right when he said the garden reaches an optimum point at this time of year, when everything is fresh and green, and that it only last a couple of days. I felt like that around a week ago (even though hopefully there's a lot more colour to come !), and the lack of rainfall is just beginning to make itself known. From not having to think about watering, l have started keeping a close eye on things.
" This episode features Ramona Jones, who was diagnosed with autism in her twenties and discovered how she can find her true identity when she’s in the garden.
Meanwhile, Monty makes some changes to his pots in the Jewel Garden, harvests gooseberries and plants out squash.
Adam Frost checks out a wonderful arts and crafts garden in Leeds and finds much to inspire and surprise. Rekha Mistry reveals her brand new garden in the Peak District and begins to make plans for this challenging plot.
Plus a National Collection of eryngiums, whose owners think sea hollies are misunderstood, and more of the films that have been sent in by viewers. "

along that coast. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. 😊
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Nice one Toby.
