By mistake I just caught the end of GW this week . Monty what a fraud you and your garden are. If you treat Rosemary properly you can definitely revive them. I now have a number of compact shrubby plants that were in a worst state than yours last year. You just have to know how to garden and you obviously don't. As for the way you planted the replacement rosemary well! I promise you that plant will not survive. Why are you now writing your own posts 'So much better' 'Monty is great'........WHAT? However, I do agree with 1181 'Monty always makes me want to get out in the garden' Yes I turn off the TV when GW is on and do some gardening.
What a disappointement GW is every week. After half an hour of watching, it seems that nothing was said. I understand that many other viewers do not find it utterly boring, as I do, but I think that the BBC should satisfy the growing demand for a programme that's practical, fun and innovative. Last year we had the Edible Garden as well as a fresh GW and this year we are left with nothing
I am just so horrified by GW. It is a sad thing watching a much loved show die so badly. I am in full agreement with Liz - I prefer to garden than watch Monty mess up yet again.
GW GW GW GW we are all gardeners monty toby ho ever lets get back to gardening. we have just hade one of the hardest winters and dryest starts to the year so no mater if it is monty or toby let them both have a part on the show and let us get on with whats inportant thats gardening growing plants growing veg thats what they do best so lets see it hapen.
Is anyone still watching that awful Monty Don chap?
I doubt Peter Seabrook (a real gardener!) is, and I doubt many other proper gardeners are watching his boring attempts at becoming 'interesting'.
What a joke GW has been allowed to become, just to please some middle-aged ladies who, bizarrely, fancy Don. Why does the BBC constantly allow second-rate 'personalities' to destroy what was once a prime gardening programme?
Well here we are on Thursday night and I can go out with friends and not bother to record GW because it is utter rubbish now. I look forward to my weekend of gardening - just a shame I no longer have GW to look forward too.
I caught a few minutes of GW yesterday (the bit where Monty was potting up things for his steps) and it was actually quite interesting - although his garden looked as bleak as ever.
The audience figures are dropping though, after remaining around the 2.2 million mark for a few weeks, last nights episode saw viewing figures dropping to 1.86 million, on a par with what Toby & co were getting last year.
