We are new to Gardening in real terms and it was the likes of Alan Tichmarsh. Carol , Joe Etc that made us believe we could do it. They showed us in Gardens like ours and many others. Mont Don changed the format to apeal to what it seems to me the more seasoned gardener with large plots and endless pockets. OK I can switch him off but we watch the highlights of the show, carol Klien, Joe Swift. They are talking to us on our level. If we are not to be thought of as "gardeners" Then maybe we are in the minority. But speaking to a number of our friends all feel the same.
We have been watching some old Geoff Hamilton DVD's of Gardeners World. What an inspiring man. We have learned so much more from Him than from Monty Don.
So I ask. As new gardeners are we not to be considered as worthy.
But surely it's a programme for all gardeners - if it was just for beginners what would the more experienced ones watch? You've found something of interest in the programme - it may not be the same bits that I find interesting but it's something. It's a pretty impossible task to please all the people all of the time in just 30 mins, but as the trailers say, hopefully there will be something in each programme to inspire you. More detailed instruction can be found all over the web and in magazines and books.
And has been said before, Monty Don's garden is less than a quarter of the size of Geoff Hamilton's, and until recently he and his wife did all the work themselves.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oh no. Another series with Monty Don building his utterly boaring Garden at Licence payers expense. His garden is nothing like any one elses Garden I know and dose not reflect howweoldbuild our gardens. Unlie past presenters he wallows in self gratification of Long Meadows. If it was not for the likes of Carol or Joe the program would be a black hole in the Gardening caleda. Every time you see his garden many pounds have been spent on Greenhouse, paths and neumerous goodies. He his building his garden at our expense.
There is an off switch-that is spelt SWITCH-I have yet to see a boar in his garden-must have missed that bit
Extracting the bladder water from someone less intellectually equipped, isn't very clever or funny!

If people are old enough to come on here and right nonsense -then they have to up with comments
Dear David-class monitor as well now-go out in the sunshine and lighten up-what is your problem??
I used to like you input bit now you are becomimg boaring
So now my education is in doubt. I am an engineer ,not an academic.
Thank you dovefromabove for an appreciative reply. I take on board your comments.
We do look at other places for advice. We have bought DVD of Geoff Hamilton. Also the Small city gardener although our garden is not small. Also ground force. They all made me believe I could do it. Maybe one day We may be in the Elite

Will have to remember to use spell checker
Point taken Verdun.
At least if nothing else I have had the effect of bringining out the inane humour of some, more intelectually equiped than myself.
