Alan's new series
watched Alan Titchmarsh's new love your garden prog.
for me, it's overly sentimental, over soft, over emptional and almost cringingly intrusive. I LOVED it.
not much really about gardening as such but shows what a garden can do for folk.
whisper it folks? I think I'm getting soft in my old age

I enjoyed it but I have to say I hated the plastic plants on the wall.
'twas the cost of stuff. That plastic stuff was £560 per metre and the " water feature" was £6,500.
We turned it off - couldn't stand the maudlin' sentimentality and long meaningful looks
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'd prefer more about the plants and less about the maudlin looks. It's amazing what you can do with a pallet.
You're obviously a much nicer person than we are Verdun

I watched the beginning and the end but not the middle. As long as the owner liked it that was OK by me, but wouldn't have been my first choice. Glad she was happy.
I agree with DFA. And there was just about everything in the garden apart from the kitchen sink. That water feature was far too over the top. And the price was jaw dropping! Give me more gardening and less mush any day. It was almost like a pantomime - all that to-camera 'funny' (not) bits. Not my cup of tea at all! Don't think I will be watching it again.
I hated the plastic plants. What next ... astroturf?
