Is it me or is this way past its best.

I want to know how to DO things.. what to plant, where, when. How to propagate.

Monty we don't have gardens big enough to leave to go wild and mow a path through..

I don't want to see endless videos of other peoples gardens either.

An old episode.

what I wish they would do is show a sequence over a few months
here we are planting runner beans
now we are hardening them off
now we are planting them out (here are some different ways of supporting them
now we are watering them etc
now they are ready to harvest (maybe, this is how we process them0
end of the season...time to take the vines down

that sort of thing
not so much with runner beans, but they often show Monty planting stuff and then I never get to see how it turns out

Trouble is, Gardeners World for that type of gardening information is up against stiff competition from YouTube channels that release weekly videos with content on everything from stages of growing tomatoes, 'everything you need to know about dahlias', clematis, morning glory, succulents, you name it, they film it and in a much more real-world accessible format. I've got a library of advice and my gardening techniques have improved immensely.

i do watch the occasional GW YouTube that comes up on my feed, but it's far from the only content I enjoy,

@Ifailed , was it? Looked recent to me. Monty revisited the new seated area and grass he planted a few weeks back and referred to Hampton Court Flower Show next week.

It wasn't an old episode, it was on today instead of Friday because Glastonbury is on bbc2 tomorrow evening.

I missed the sex, must have been going to get wine!
I liked seeing Nick's garden, and Mr Skip Man.
Was amazed at Monty's allegedly 10 year old crab apple - mine is tiny in comparison.

It was two ladybirds on a leaf having a great time! 😀
It was just after Adam said he'd lived in 26 houses, about a quarter of the way into the programme

SpeedwellBlue · 27/06/2024 22:31

Sorry Nick, not Adam

Twelvetimes · 28/06/2024 14:21

I missed the ladybirds somehow, although I heard Nick say he'd live in 26 houses which I thought was sad. I'm glad he's now got his own garden.

(I always think he's another Adam too for some reason, Speedwell.)

I think they are all great presenters but Monty is the only one with a garden set up for filming over a long period so until that changes I doubt anyone will become host and probably keep the format of different presenters that they have now
