  • Nice to see Nelly with Monty I thought the way Monty was talking he may have just had some dental work, enjoyed the show though.

    That would be particularly interesting to me as I often dry flowers but never pressed any.
    I had forgotten all about pressing flowers. All you need is some baking paper and some heavy books. I think my children would enjoy this.

    I pressed flowers between blotting paper, not baking paper

    Second Winter special 8pm tonight. 

    "Adam Frost visits Mary Berry at home to hear about another of her great passions in life, gardening.

    Mary shares her love of cut flowers and some tips on freezing herbs, while Adam shows her how to sow the tiniest of snapdragon seeds with a cocktail stick - something Mary has an abundance of !

    Meanwhile, Rachel de Thame visits a ‘cut your own flower' field in Dorset; Frances Tophill joins garden designer Tom Massey to look at the ways urban greening projects can breathe new life into our towns and cities; Nick Bailey visits a garden near Dorchester bursting with more than 350 different rose varieties; and there's some home-grown produce on the menu as Joe Swift visits the kitchen gardeners at Le Manoir Hotel in Oxfordshire."

    Thank you, Anni, but I do wish they would include some real winter material too.

  • It must be tough having Bunny come over to design your garden 🤣 a lot of cash definitely makes gardening effortless
