I've given up on it.
The series seems to be about sob stories, and stage set makeovers and masses of ( very expensive ) product placement.
This week is a pair of OAPs who used to love their garden before the health problems associated with getting old.
I have never seen anyone so happy to see Alan Titchmarsh.
I like the fact that it is generally small(er) gardens with specific issues to solve e.g. slopes or privacy. I've enjoyed the series - any gardening programmes are good IMHO and I usually end up shedding a tear or two at the back stories! But then I did like Ground Force back in the day
but it's not " gardening" is it?
I agree with everything you say Hosta , but I am still watching because it's got plants
More like Set Design ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I agree it's not really gardening but I like watching Alan Titchmarsh and I enjoy seeing the transformations.
Even better is the Big Dreams, Small Spaces show with Monty Don. I always learn something from that and it's not normally as theatrical although I wasn't bowled over with last week's episode which had a hot potch seaside theme and moss covered model street of wooden houses.
