What are your first impressions of Chelsea this year?

I watched the afternoon programme today at 2pm.

My first thoughts were that most of the gardens actually looked like gardens and I thought Jo Thompsons garden was delightful. The soft colours gave it a romantic feel and I thought it was really lovely.

Please tell me your opinions as the week goes on.

Hi Chris, I agree with you about Jo Thompsons garden..
It was very relaxed and romantic.Wonder if she will be tempted to do another one next year.At least the theme
is colour this year.I do enjoy watching it at both times.

Good idea Chris.
I enjoy the 8pm programme and was entertained by the lovely Japanese chap who gets so excited about winning. His Best Garden was perfect, and I also very much like the Avenade Garden (as a fan of Tom Massey!).

He was so thrilled wasn’t he Sheila?! His garden was gorgeous in every way.

It’s been good to watch, when I can catch it!
All the female presenters are wearing colourful dresses to match the colourful show!!!
Not so keen on Monty’s doggy garden.. sorry if anyone is a fan!
Love dogs, but not the garden.

Hi Chris, I must admit that I haven't been watching it.
Other years it has not appealed to me with all the way out styles and not so much about real gardens.
I will check it out on IPlayer.
