I feel a bit left out here. Also, when they eventually show the programs here in a couple of years, I'll be looking out for all your observations.
Since I'm now only 9 hours ahead instead of 11 hours, I'm finding it a bit difficult to get my viewing back into sync. Besides, since Hubby showed me how to play the free jigsaw puzzles on line, I've become obsessed with them.
Im packing up for the night, so will look in tomorrow to see what you've all been doing.
HI all a new boy on the block will be looking for lots of advice I'm afraid all ways had a love for gardens and been to many beautiful ones all around the world over the years.
I have always been on the move so never had a garden of my own so this is my first.
I'm out topping up on vitamin D while I can. If anyone could tell me the etiquette on popping a note to a neighbour you really don't know saying PLEASE GET THAT COUGH LOOKED AT I would be most grateful. She sounds so awfully I'll
Clari. I am a great admirer of Great Dixter and Christopher Lloyd I thought maybe incorporate some of his ideas it needs to be a garden to stroll and relax in.
I don't just want one seating area but a number through out the garden and for people to be able grab a deck chair and plonk it down anywhere and enjoy the plants.
The garden is gets the sun just about all day SSW
But as you can see that is just a little way off just now
Hello SolentWind and welcome aboard - that plot is certainly going to keep you busy for a while - I think I'd start by strimming and mowing to get a meadow effect, and live with it for a while, then make some decisions about dividing it up.
Big Christopher Lloyd fans here too
Clari - is this a new cough the neighbour has, or a new neighbour?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hosta, that rockery! I know it fell way short of what a "proper" rockery should be. Ok, the garden was a bit of a "joke" but the point of it was FUN. The owner had no plant knowledge or desired any....she simply wanted a magical play area for her child. I watched the programme with that in mind and enjoyed it.
Disagree Joyce. Basic gardening knowledge comes second, sometimes, to the joy factor.
folks! enjoy this prog for what it is
I agree with Verdun this time! The programme is more for fun than serious gardening and if people end up with a garden they are happy with then that's fine. I don't even mind if Monty had one too many, he could do with some fun too I expect.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

G'day all.
Lovely day, been out since early doors, and OH decided she wanted to help, very unusual , but very welcome.
I quite enjoy MD's series, particularly the young couple, who built a lovely haven, in a tiny courtyard.
Steak and Kidney pie tonight, yum yum. Think a butch red is called for.
When you don't even know who's in the team

Maybe pop round with a posy of spring flowers and say you thought she sounded poorly? That, of course, is if you are feeling well enough!
