Gardeners World

Yes looking forward to seeing it Sheila and Frances' garden.
Such a beautiful design your garden has. And now 5 years old. That is a fab photo your Steve took Sheila. x

looks glorious Sheila ! Gardeners' world I find very samey and boring always cover same things week after week . Wanting them to do conifers just once lol

Thanks so much Janey. x

Thanks Paul. Maybe tonight’s episode will be better than usual, but I do agree with you up to a point.

I really enjoyed it this week, it was far more relatable, and good to see so many younger people taking part who don't have rolling acres. It brought up 'green issues' without pontificating..

Sheila, I have just watched GW, recorded last night, and for the first time in many months did not fast forward a minute of it. For me, every part of it was interesting, especially the Arts & Crafts house and garden which Advolly spoke so lovingly about.

Yes! Thanks Ange and Shirley… good to know we all enjoyed the programme much more than usual 🙂. I think Frances Tophill is a natural presenter, so relaxed and not taking anything too seriously.

Sheila, when I saw those Bamboo roots under the pond liner I felt for her. Years ago I planted a Bamboo and was assured by the nursery chap that it was not a spreading type. Hah, how wrong he was! The roots spread far and wide and it was a dreadful chore removing them all ... needless to say I shall never plant a Bamboo again!

Oh dear Shirley - very annoying to be so misinformed. I do love my one Bamboo plant (fastigia) but it’s in a large pot. Phew! Yes, Frances did have a huge job, but somehow managed to chuckle about it …

She made me smile when she said two consecutive days off work would be needed for her to remove the roots ... poor girl.

You won’t be disappointed Julia.

I loved her energy and enthusiasm and admired the way she tackled such difficult tasks!! It was a really good programme.

Thanks Chris, agreed! I’m sure we’ll see more of her if the producers have any sense …

Thank you for reminding us to watch. I too enjoyed the programme.

She is so engaging and natural, a really lovely young woman. Do like her dog too..:)

Thanks Josee, that’s good.

You’re right Janey, she seems a very relaxed presenter 🙂.

I'd forgotten all about GW on TV! We no longer watch TV but if we want to see a programme we just look it up on the computer & watch it thee. I have GW on the BBC iPlayer but watch a couple of episodes & then forget all about it! It's the same with David Attenborough's programmes - I watch an episode or two then forget about them for a few months!

I'm very much a "hands-on" person & can't sit still long enough - usually - to watch anything! On the computer I'm always writing/reading on gardening forums or Flickr.

As I've now seen this post I shall go to watch Francis on GW on the BBC iPlayer. 👍
