  • Really happy Monty is back, he is my absolute favourite after Alan Titchmarsh. Welcome back Monty.
  • Really missing Toby & Alys's practical gardening - Monty's "show" is no substitute.
  • I've watched Gardeners World since early Geoff Hamilton days but the last 3 weeks I've switched over after 10 minutes. I find it elitist gardening and it doesn'r relate to anything I do. Very disappointed...
  • Can not believe Alys is not on the programme any more! for me,she was the only reason to watch!I have heard a rumour that Monty had a problem with her..(felt threatened)?! if this is at all true the producers have made a serious mistake - Alys has a huge fan base and we will be heard!!
  • Carol yes, Monty no, Rachel in moderation, please bring back Alys, Toby was quite entertaining and very knowledgable, please bring him back.I do not miss Joe very much.
    Montys catch crop of salads on top of a stitch of potatoes, how ridiculous. So how do you earth up and weed the potatoes?
  • Was this episode 4 tonight? I spent an entire winter looking forward to what became 4 disappointments. Will Greenacre ever return to television? I liked Toby (only started watching GW when he was presenting). I may stop taping this show.
  • Contrary to others I have now stayed awake through-out all of the current series. Something I haven't achieved for a long time. Yes this is a 'production' by a team but the face (and personality) on the screen is a very important part of the equation. So far it's a big improvement.
  • On this evenings Gardeners World, Monty said he had seen Red Cowslips for the first time - we have had lots of them and some good fotos from past years. We have them in the garden at the moment.
  • Monty " remember to always handle young plants by their leaves, never the stems" next scene he's seen holding a young grafted plant by the stem !!!
  • Why does the GW website allow adverts?.... we pay for the BBC so that we do not have to put up with these commercial distractions.
