  • Just goes to show there's something for everyone. I suppose I knew what Joe was saying already,  but he crystallised something in my mind and I could visualise my existing borders and slot in new ideas as he talked. Quite agree with Hollyhock (Hi, HH) that it would be expensive and overwhelming for most amateurs to do in one go, which has always been my problem, but once you get started and have a developing structure, a new vision is good, I think. I could see where I had things in the wrong place and how my planting was bitty.

    Derek, I've just looked at the forecast for the next few days and I think I'll go back into hibernation.

  • Lots of promise at this kind of year - and lots of setbacks. So great to see different weather on  previously recorded segments of GW.

    I've written about GW in 2 other threads before I saw this one. Seems only Hollie Hock was disappointed with Jo's cottage garden apart from me. Some I liked but he always designs in straight lines and I like some curves. I like cottage gardens to be a mass of flowers and colour.

    I agree with Verdun too, how I miss Geoff Hamilton - so much more inspiring and inventive.

    Perhaps I'm just too fussy but I wasn't too impressed with GW this evening. I can remember Geoff Hamilton and his manner was inspiring. I like Monty but programme is stale already. Next week, when we have had a week's hot sushine, I expect I will be re-enthused!

  •  Geoff H and Alan T were a hard act to follow. I guess Monty must have his strengths since he was popular enough to be reinstated. Sexier than others?

    Sorry, I don't find Monty at all sexy. I find him nice but he sends me to sleep. Alan T. seems so much more alive.
