I tend to agree with a reply submitted by 'Anonymous' at the beginning of this thread....continuity is everything. I've never got over Geoff Hamilton dying ( although I'm sure he didn't do it to spite us, bless him ) and Gardener's World has never been the same since. I didn't much appreciate Alan Titchmarsh, although he's an excellent presenter with a sound background in horticulture and knows his stuff; but there was always a bit too much 'titillation' for the ladies and that Yorkshire charm doesn't do anything for me. Rachel de Thame is a pretty lass, Sarah Raven lives at Sissinghurst and bosses plants into growing, Alys was a passing fancy and Toby likewise. It seems that we, the viewers, must be constantly stimulated by 'new' or 'fresh' presenters wearing weirder and more eccentric 'costumes' in order to keep the viewing figures up - maybe it's a case of touting for new viewers rather than giving the loyal gardening public a reliable and familiar programme they can continue to appreciate?
Monty Don drives me mad with his manic digging and every time I see him wielding a trowel I cringe; but he's back, so can we keep him, please, and not have to put up with this constant stream of unfamiliar faces? Keep Joe, keep Carol, ditch the rest and maybe introduce one newcomer with whom we can familiarise ourselves and who will, perhaps, one day, provide the programme with it's 'new' front man or woman.
I am glad monty is back ,I think he is a lot better in his own garden, than berryfields, there isnt enough gardening on, i love carol her programe at her own garden was brilliant. Only one complaint it should be on for a least one hour.Looking forward to fridays again.

My cherry blossom has brown rot blight but can't find treatment and wondered if it would affect my other trees such as apple plum etc. Do I need to chop the cherry tree down or can
have you any tips of how to get rid of the sticky weeds that have invaded my garden... they have thin leaves and little white flowers and have seemed to have appeared over the last few days/weeks... I am not too sure as I have been neglecting my garden recently due to the awful weather and the fact it is a bit too much for me to tackle... I is a reasonably big garden with big privets and I have been unable to keep on top of them..If you ever want to turn a disaster garden into one of your works of art please feel free to do so ...

Hi, Wintersong....I think the glitch dept has it in for me!
Is that lots of love?? ..geddit?
You are definitely glitched!
I just wonder how you could do that, even if you wanted to...Wintersong's first message wasn't even from this board, it was from 'Site feedback'.

To the last 2 posters -asking Monty Don a question on this thread will not produce an answer to your query-you need top start a new discussion.
