    Hi I know it's not GW truly, but where do I get a list of the gardens Monty visited in the French series. We have watched it several times and our French is not that good with names!

    thanks

    You could invest in this??

  • Monty has mentioned or named a weed used for fertilizer

    Farmers grow it and it it he fields and plough it in. I cannot think of the name and wonder if some one can tell me

    Hi Antonia - I think you're referring to green manures.  There are several different types of plant used for this purpose, depending on the time of year and for how long it is to remain growing in the plot. 

    There's lots of information here http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=373 

    I hope that's helpful image

    A Half-hour of GW? Pity us Woodworkers. We get absolutely zilch, unless it's a by-product of another programme, like Monty did a while back. Cookery? Awash with it, making celebrities of pretty average cooks! Sickening.!

    If you are a Kitchen Artist Fairygirl, then I apologise, but you must admit there are quite a number of chefs and cookery shows  (ad nauseum) on British TV... And I won't even go near the antiques subject!

    Cheers

    Wobbly.   :)

    No need to apologise wcogs. image

    I'd agree with you about cookery shows though  image

    Thank you Fairygirl. Some of these chefs I like (Simon Hopkinson for example!)  But he's a food-writer really. Maybe it's because he does mostly real food, instead of arty-barty culinary fancies!

    I'd still like to see a Woodwork programme thought. I might even be able to judge!
