Yep we agree with the posting 1172. A much better presentation all round. We also enjoyed it and if it weren't for the fact that it is currently pouring down where we live, we would have been in our garden replenishing our Rosemary plants as per last nights advice c/o Monty. Keep this style etc up bbc and we will be staying with Montys Gardeners World. A million times better.
Better - much better. At long last a programme that was watchable. It started off with just myself being brave, then wife sat & watched followed by my 81 year old dad who lives with us & then both our 20 somethings sons, who are both very much into gardening, joned us also. We all sat silently (instead of shouting at the tele correcting Monty) & all agreed that it was a good programme - at last!! We then went on to watch Montys Italian North Gardens programme which we also very much enjoyed. A good evenings gardening watching. Thankyou bbc & keep it up.
Wow, so much better. Enjoyed last nights gardeners world-for the first time with Monty. He still rambles on a bit, but oh well that's just Monty i suspect anyway. Much much better though.
Actually had some of my students ringing me this morning praising last nights gardens world prog. It was a lot better. Monty appeared to be informed and came across as being knowledgeable for the first time to date. He was interesting to listen to as what he was doing also was. The whole programme was interesting and so much better. Rachels garden visit was really good and what a garden! Carol as usual is faultless.
Wonderful-at last. This is how it should be. Beautiful garden for beautiful Rachel,packed information segemnent for Carol AND actualy interesting and attention holding advice from Monty! More like a Gardeners World should be. Yes i agree Monty still rambled a bit, but that is his way and this forum should not be about the man personally just his presentation and advice skills. If he rambles a bit-well we may have to offset that against his actuall skills, which last night shone through. He is very likeable but the presentation that he had been landed with was wrong for him and it showed painfully. However what ever has now happened regarding that presentation made it work last last night.
I still don't feel confident with the advice, though. Watched a Spring episode of last year's GW with my wife this evening. Had kept it for advice on prairie planting. Toby and Alys gave so much information. The plants all looked supremely healthy and ready to grow and there were so many flowers shown and beautifully filmed that I can't help feeling cheated. Such a shame.....
Monty is great - don't knock him. Alan was OK - cant say his decking and plastic seaside creations were too hot, lets face it. Mature gardening has now replaced the naff ideas from the gimmick squad! Alys was good though - more of the 'Edible Garden' would be a feast!
How wonderful to see Monty Don back on Gardeners World, I really missed his easy style of presenting and gardening.
Monty always makes me want to get out in the garden and do more than before, so super to see him back and looking well. I just wish my garden was big enough to try all the projects he shows us all!!

Still think GW would be so much better with Toby & Alys.
And still think if not them then Monty's dog should present it.
