Last night's Gardeners World

Hmmmm, just watching last night's episode. Cocodrama hanging baskets? Long section on South Africa? Not loving the content. Beechgrove is so much more relevant for me. It's how I imagine Gardeners World used to be when I hear people happily reminiscing about Percy Thrower and Geoff Hamilton. I do enjoy watching Monty, and hope that last night was just a blip for me. Do others like the more modern take? I think I might just be too old fashioned!

    I didnt get the hanging thingies either. They look like more watering than the average hanging basket.

    They were a bit odd...can't see the point of them.

    Just watching it myself Now.   Not a fan of the cocodama.  I'm sticking to conventional baskets.  My favourite bits of GW are those with Monty.  In fact, I could do with all Monty and none of the features.

    I didn't mind the kokedama, but I don't like the South Africa bits every week - I want to see local garden inspiration.

    i'm the same, only realy interested in the monty bit, since people on here have recommended beechgrove i record it every week and watch it when i have time, much more interesting and i like that that test and experiment with different things too, love it.

    I find some of the extra bits a bit dull sometimes. I love the 'things to do this weekend' section and generally Monty pottering around the garden. Mmm, I have just set up Beechgrove on record and will see what that's like.

    Completely agree, if the show was longer then I wouldn't resent long wistful shots of a wet Nigel or Monty trotting off into the distance. Joe swift sends me off into a slumber too.  In 30 mins of beechgrove they cover around a months worth of gw!

    I love all the gardening programmes but agree that Beechgrove is the best and the content more relevant to the average suburban gardener. I do love Monty though

    I'm glad Monty gave advice on growing streptocarpus as they are so pretty and not often covered in programmes.
