Before this thread vanishes into oblivion, I would just say that there is another thread running in the Potting Shed entitled 'Monty Don Tour'...and although I've only skim read it, it seems to be a sell-out....and this is one of the concerns I have about Mr Don.
Given these tours and TV work, I would think more of him if he were honest and not try to pretend that his pristine, large garden was as a result of his own efforts and let us know who does the real work at Longmeadow... after all, it was in a pretty run down state when GW was first broadcast from there.
There's definitely something up with the formatting on this thread - if we point it out to Daniel I expect the quickest and easiest way to resolve it will be to remove or lock the thread - and of course given the subject of the thread that is likely to be misinterpreted
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Verdun, you sound like a male Carol Klein! Who I like. Passionate is a good thing and clumsy would add a touch of humour. Made for the job!
Oops, forgot you don't care for Carol Klein!
You could make the blue t-shirt your signature feature
. Verd and Woody - what a duo. Set up the screen test now
I know md has more than 4 wheelbarrows,dand more than 10 pairs of Felco sectueurs, and he has a dog called Nigel, but I'd rather see gardening
I would have to go for Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler out of that lot.
BTW, how old do you have to be, to be classed as antique?
Thats about right then, I do qualify!

I thought he did have help in his garden. Why has it gone into italics? I've clicked on the italics icon, wonder if that will change it.
No, it didn't.
David - MD has acknowledged publically and in print that he now has help at Longmeadow
