    Enjoyed the Astrantia guy's piece and the cat but other than that .... hurry back Monty!

    I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

    Was it my imagination or is that a different garden AF was working in?  I thought he'd had to move to a smaller house as his wife was not well?

    I enjoyed the programme as I like AF.

    That is the smaller garden @Lizzie27!   

    I enjoyed it and did not doze off.   Found the Joe Swift garden visit difficult to follow - odd shapes and boundaries - but some interesting bits.  Always enjoy the way Adam describes the whys and wherefores of a plant or activity.

    I often go past Adam’s house but it would be rude to stop and stare.

    Astrantia man was the best part for me. 
  • I really like Adam Frost so enjoyed this week's episode! Didn't think astrantias were for me but that guy's enthusiasm for them has made me reconsider. 
  • It was a good episode all in all. I wish I had the enthusiasm for veggies as Rekha Mistry has got. The Astrantia guy (plus wife) was adorable; 8 acers of clay soil and than that garden ...

    I my garden.

  • Personally I skip through a lot of AF's stuff, I'm not keen on him at all and I just hope that, if Monty ever retires, they don't put Adam as the front man.  I won't watch it all then.  I enjoyed the Astrantia section and the viewers' gardens, plus the brief visit from the cat but that was it.  Bring back Monty and the dogs!

    This household is in agreement with you. 
    Yes, Monty's garden maybe out of proportion to most others, but you never see it all in one go. I like the way it is split into smaller sections. That way he can advise on different aspects, and try different things. 
    But, . . . . I'm a cat person!
