Gardeners’ World

[Neverknowinglyunderbold]

Will there be a 2023 series?

What gardening programmes are you watching now?

Oh wow - sounds great!
I’ll look into it for us

I don't mind Monty. I see his garden as a collection of gardens buuuuut his soil looks so easy to dig compared to my rubble filled suburban garden. A job that takes him half an hour would be half a day for me.

Absolutely with you here! I hate Monty's soil! We have a new- build and the builders buried the rubble then proceeded to compact the ground down when they laid the turf, the result being an undiggablw garden where virtually everything dies. I have so far planted a pear tree which is hanging on but many shrubs I planted are now dead. I'm sticking to pots!

@VenusClapTrap that sounds exciting, Pippa is always good value and Matthew Pottage’s languid tones make me chuckle.

I have a tiny garden (about 6mx4m) in a house I have just moved into. I'm currently remodelling it (well, a handy bloke is building my raised beds, steps, fencing) and here's the rub.....

I love cottage gardens, Every garden I have ever made in the past 4 decades has been a cottage garden. I understand that sort of planting. I have potted cherry trees, roses, clematis, penstemons etc that I brought with me.

I do NOT want a "tropical" exotic garden..and all courtyard garden examples in very programme seem to aim in this direction. I do NOT want a load of hardstanding. I do NOT want a "low maintenance" garden - I love gardening,. I want more of it, not less.

Any gardening programme that can deliver me ideas avoiding the above gets my vote. Having said that, I do watch GW (Adam gets my vote as he downsized and also has a cat).
