  • Watched it!!! Loved it!!!! I'm sorry!!! Loved Toby, Aly's n Joe this last year!!! Love Monty n Racheal too!!! But to me there is only one person to take over at Gardeners World and it as to be Carol!!! Her plantsmanship is impeccable, and her infectious enthusiasm as to be appluade!!!!
  • I've just watched it on i-player, it was brilliant. Gardeners World is fine if you've just got yourself a new garden and haven't a clue, but this was a program for the rest of us gardeners out there. The ones who have watched their garden flourish over many years and are now concerned with maintaining it, moving things that have outgrown their original space, dividing and propogating. I'm so glad Carol is presenting this, she's a gal after my own heart (since I wouldn't allow my other half at the top of the ladder doing the important stuff either) please BBC don't ever let her go!
  • Oh Carol Welcome back, for me your joy of doing even the menial back breaking jobs makes us all want to get started, putting our own gardens in order.

    I now look forward to Friday evenings again and watching your garden grow and to learn from one who really does not mind getting her hands stuck into the soil. A real informative gardening programme.
  • I loved the programme and your others.I shall be getting a new greenhouse in the summer so your advice is so welcome.

    Why cant Toby and Alys have a seriies of programmes like yours so that we are not deprived of them as well? I will be giving gw a miss if they are not on.
  • I would just like to say how much I enjoyed Carol's programme on Friday, it just goes to show you can garden in all weathers, if you're wrapped up well, I myself is looking forward to getting out into the garden, but only when all this snow has gone, up here in scotland the weather is so cold and frosty.
  • Like others I watched and thoroughly enjoyed the first programme, and am really looking forward to the rest of the series. My only wish was that the programme was longer!

    I always find Carol interesting and her enthusiasm for gardening so infectious.

    Carol - if only I could fit a potting shed into my little garden, like you, I would be out there long after the daylight hours had passed!!
  • hi carol,
    i have been asked to do over a garden at mt school were i work for the kids,the garden is in a wooded area so we have alot of birds but it is the kids garden, we would like to grow veg we did this last year and the kids loved it so i was thinking to go bigger this year can you help ..
  • Our cas did the twin scaling at colege ast year,as part of our RHS level 3 Hort. All of mine came out perfect Which I was more than a bit chuffed with,as I had never done it before.Now I have the knowhow,the next step is to do loads of propagating Aliums,especially Allium'Globemaster'. very expensive for just one bulb,but If I am successful then it wil be worth the money!! Fingers crossed!!
  • What a pleasure last Friday to watch the first of Carol's new series. Contrary to the effect it had on Sam Wollaston in his review in the'Guardian'(what a meanie) I find her enthusiam and knowledge so infectious that I can't wait to get out there and get on with it. She's a great inspiration.
  • I am doing an small garden in my allotment in northwood kirkby nr liverpool for the local schools and i will like to get all the kids and grow the veg seeds and plant with them. they came to the allotment last year but every thing they done got wasted so this time i have built ther owen garden and all they afto do is plant it with flowers and veg and frute they will like it . it will be alot better for them to see it grow and defelep in to ther owen small garden and that will be grate for northwood kirkby sumthing good
