So what did I miss last night? Cut flowers and something. Not bothered about cut flowers but don't want to miss anything good. I'm always a day or two behind, on the iplayer when I have a broad enough band
I noticed that too, Toby and Lemon Balm, makes you wonder. I have purple sage, in a hot summer it grows big and fast, and it's perennial, wouldn't be room for anything else unless you keep it well pruned all the time. Also I find that soft green herbs like parsley and basil need a lot more water than woody ones like sage and rosemary.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Enjoyed the tree episode, but as always it didn't really teach me anything. Its all well and good showing us beautiful trees, but I think they should have told us about the most suitable trees for small gardens and perhaps rootstock names such as M27 etc.
They showed us the couple who had kept all the trees in their garden small, which got me excited as I have half a dozen 4ft oak trees still in their pots that I planted from acorns and would like to keep small, but they failed to show us exactly how they did it!
So, a lovely programme to watch, but without the benefit of teaching me anything.

In the sticks near Peterborough
Trees Nut, lots of trees - including the most wonderful national collection of birches
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Shame so many flowers are not British grown in the flower market - but shipped in from far away
Right, thanks Dove, l hope my broadband is good and broad.

I quickly noted down the recipe for flower water.
I have recently discovered the pleasure in bringing flowers from the garden inside - mainly because i have never really had that many before
I never could believe Toby Buckland. Sloppy gardener and presenter.
I was not impressed with the way that wheelbarrow was planted up
