I wondered why it didn't record so had to watch it on catch up. enjoyed the bit on the Manchester bridge but wondered how the bridge was stronger in the centre than at the edges. I'm beginning to think why not let the weeds grow after all they are just flowers in the wrong place apparently, some time ago Monty got slated for accepting cow parsley in his beds.
Who know how railway bridges were engineered but I'd certainly want the strength under the tracks and trains! Dosed thru half the rest but did catch the bit where Monty has finally decided to take out those dreadful box hedges and some trees.

8pm tonight. " In a special programme coming from York Gate in Leeds, Adam Frost, Rachel de Thame and Frances Tophill celebrate a garden for all seasons and tackle some seasonal jobs for September.
In London, there's a head gardener who fell in love with horticulture at a very young age, plantsman Jamie Butterworth pays a visit to the magnificent walled garden at Scampston Hall, and the man with a lifelong passion for breeding hibiscus."
I really like all of the gardeners world team and I know that these two have been on the show for several years but this season I have taken more to Frances Tophill and Nick Bailey. As for Beechgrove I think that they have a really good team and this season has been the best that I have ever seen. Well done BBC some praise for once.
Agree about the hibiscus chap. I sometimes find people who concentrate on the one species can come across as a bit boring on GW, but he was fascinating imo.
I enjoyed the 3 presenters visiting York Gate, it definitely gave a different "vibe". I wonder if GW has a new producer?
They are having to come up with new ideas, because Monty wants more time off, and the others don't really have big enough gardens to fill a whole programme. So far I think it is working. The problem will come if/when Monty decides to give up.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
