Monty Don has serious problems with his knees I read yesterday.
I’m another who thought Geoff Hamilton was the best I can see his grubby baggy cords now and my was he bandy, but the best presenter of all!

Reading the comments, I can see people who love this show, don't care about plants or gardening.

I enjoy gardening, but just find the programme really relaxing, I like Monty's laid back style. Apparently his little Yorkie, Patti, was hit by a falling tripod while filming, so it's made her nervous and is less likely to be seen wandering about. Sometimes Monty will sit with her tucked away in his coat ... aww 🤗🥰

Your comment is not evidence-based.
It's a chat forum. 🤔

Anyone remember Percy Thrower?

I still have a gardening book which I had bought for my Dad, who was a very keen gardener.

Sorry, his gardening book (Percy Thrower's).

I'm now going outside to do some gardening - clearing leaves from my massive Holm oak tree, which sheds leaves all year round 🙄.

Difficult to think of a suitable reply to this ridiculous statement.

🤷‍♀️😳😂

You can’t possibly know that*betina*. Rather a presumptive statement to make, think.

Must say I was a bit peeved at seeing Monty Don’s gardens down the Rhine - yet another TV presenter off on a jolly at the licence payers’ expense. 😠
