Whilst I'm enjoying the hour long episodes I'm finding that I fast forward through most of it. Im not keen on the urban garden parts, or where they visit other peoples gardens. I do however love watching Monty working in his garden. I could easily watch a full hour of Monty doing what he does.
it would be nice to see a garden being created from a grassy field to an established garden (even if it does take a few years) showing pathways, patios, walls, fences, raised beds, arbours, sheds, greenhouse/polytunnels all being built as well as the planting side - including the planning that needs to go into a bed.
raisingirl, I don't want as much gardening on TV as there is cookery. I want as much as there is sport.
I've only ever phoned the BBC once , to complain GW had been taken off for golf. 11 hours of golf, yes, eleven hours. I asked " wouldn't 10 1/2 hours have been enough, and we could still have GW?
This year, for non sports fans, has been hideous. Olympics, Wimbledon, World Cup, golf, snooker, the list goes on and on.
BBC Sports channel would be wonderful. Fans could watch and nothing would have to be cancelled for it on 1 &2.
Maybe the programme has had people contacting them saying 'Monty keeps growing that chard stuff - but what do you do with it?'
That programme that linked gardening and cooking - Raymond Blanc and Kew Gardens, seemed pretty popular - perhaps they're just taking a leaf (see what I did there ) out of their book.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Can we start a petition - Hostafan for BBC Director General . A BBC Sport channel. No sport in the news broadcasts. I wouldn't begrudge you the £450,000 salary if you could do that
Gardening on the edge of Exmoor, in Devon
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
The way the Beeb is going, they won't have any sport on at all within a couple of years so a dedicated sports channel would be a waste of time............unless they then converted it into a dedicated gardening channel.

some hard landscaping projects would be good,

I know what I did with chard when I grew it..... chucked it in the compost bin.
What a waste!!!
It's my favourite vegetable - you should have driven up here with a van load for me - the Under Gardener really likes it too

could I afford that level of pay cut ??

I think for £450,000, we could rustle up 9 people on 50k each, all working half a day each per week.
