  • Well done to Carol - the spirit of Geoff Hamilton, the infectious enthusiasm and humour of Alan Titchmarsh. Carol's programme is excellent. She should be Gardeners World lead presenter. I could even watch her plant veg, she would make them a darn sight more interesting than the awful Monty Don preaching at us
  • Best programme of the year. I settle down on a Friday night with recorder on to watch this fantastic programme. She dosen't mind getting her hands dirty ( not like some )and I have always learnt something by the time the programme has finished, hope this isn't the last we see of her.
  • Having read Carol's book, Life in a cottage Garden and finding she has 7 Cercidiphyllum Japonicum trees I would love to know if her soil is neutral or acid. I would love to plant one in my garden but I am on neutral soil. Help anyone.
    Thoroughly enjoyed the book.
  • What a breath of fresh air Carol's programme is. I have learned more about gardening,than watching a whole series of Gardeners World. She is so down to earth and practical in what she does. More from you Carol please.
  • I just love Carol's enthusiasm, she made me want to get up and start clearing winter rubbish and I have now got a lot done.
    Why cant we have more of her on Gardeners World? I liked Toby on the programme, why did we have to change?
  • Carol's new programme is a joy - I love the fact that she is a down to earth gardener, scruffy clothes, broken nails and all - it's what normal people look like when they are gardening. Her two dogs are a delight (what breed) and add to the normalness of it all. She makes you want to get out and get on.
  • i can,t wait for friday night to come i love carol klein,s new series and it makes my weekend and gets me in the garden i have health problem but i still go in the garden i love her enthusium and she makes you beleive that gardening is for anyone .this year i am going to grow a lot of things from seed and thats because she makes it look easy and i have got a greenhouse so i am going to make the most of it i wish the programme was on for longer .i hope she does more programmes
  • Don't forget that Carol is still part of GW programmes so she'll still be on the progamme, must addmitt I like Monty as well. so having them both on GW great.
  • For those that have asked, I think Carol's dog might be a type of Lakeland Terrier
  • Its so nice to watch a well presented gardening programme in winter, now I feel I'm just itching to get back into the garden - roll on spring!
