It makes a wonderful change to have an inspiring gardening programme back on the tv. which has been sadly lacking the past couple of year with Gardner's World being so basic ..like how to dig a hole to plant...over and over again. I love Carol's enthusiasum and your always learn something different.

    if only this blasted snow would go away, then I might get out in mine too - mind you, it's raining very heavily just now, so hopefully will wash away the last of it ...

    I learn more in Carol's programme than in a whole series of Garener's World. So inspiring too.

    Really annoyed I missed Carols first programme as like other gardeners I find her very informative and hope there will be a repeat of the series. I have now made sure I wont miss the rest by recording the series. Maybe the powers that be will realise we are not all beginners and need a programme like hers for more advanced info, although I would have saved a lot of money if this type of info had been around when I first started my garden.

    I do love Carol's approach to gardening she is so enthused it's infectious, I just want to get out there spade, pruners and lopers, I've recently inherited a very unloved garden, which is in need of some inspirational ideas, keep up the good work Carol, more major pruning tips would be great!

    I'm doing most of the things Carol was talking about and am full of admiration for the way she can work and commentate at the same time. Pruning my Clematis montana was easier now I know how - they don't half run away from you when your back is turned! It's quite true, BBC, now the majority of gardeners are in the older age group, we have been at it some time but are wise enough to know there is so much to learn about gardening we can all learn something from people like Carol. So more broadcasting time is needed to satisfy the oldies. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series from Carol's garden.

    This was a wonderful start to the new gardening year and long anticipated by myself and my family. I'm not an older generation gardener but have grown up watching the older generations pass on their knowledge. I have an endless amount of repsect for Carol and some of her peers who certainly brighten our gardening lives at the same time as teaching us. Thankyou

    Really enjoyed the first episode and looking forward to seeing how Carol's garden progresses during the year in the upcoming episodes. Love her enthusiasm and she imparts the information on a level that is easily understood.
