To be honest...I used all gardening programmes to keep me at bay when I cant get out. I tend not to get inspiration as I get that from the landscape and areas around me. I think that GW is a great programme if you are starting out but for those of us that are a little more ahead (I'm not that ahead I have to say) it can get a little run of the mill, but it gives people a step forward as to what to do and explaining things. I know my self that in the early days I learnt a lot from GW. I still get some stuff from it but its there to help more . They all do a great job. However...I did enjoy Carols cottage garden a little more
I enjoy GW no matter what it covers week to week, and have been watching TV gardening since the black and white TV Percy Thrower days, it's never boring, Granted somtimes most af a program will be centered on a particular garden event or subject that I am not particularly interested in, but I am sure that there will be many that would feel that it's a highlight episode for them, When I do find that an item is of particular interest to me I often feel that it is given only scant coverage and should have been gone into in greater depth. Over time producers, presenters, etc come and go so the flavour of the program will change to reflect this. Let us remenber that the BBC has the impossible task of being all things to all men.
While we all keep wishing for more of hour GW I think they have it about right.
Except of course if the program is dropped in favour those who want to watch 22 grown men chase a bag of wind round a field in all weathers for 90 minutes!

That sounds like a good idea - perhaps in future programmes he could revisit his sketches/ideas and physically plant one up for the viewers. Love it.
I agree with you about AT discodave. Going out now to tidy up the shed.
Itwould be great to see a design being translated into reality. Where would he do it, though, since there is no GW garden?
Good point GG
Thank you, MM.
That is the stumbling block GG..
Morning

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
