The new look Gardeners World

I enjoyed it as well, despite his olive trees looking better than mine.
He did struggle a bit repotting one, single handed. When I can get two larger terracotta pots,I’ll do mine, but get DH to lend a hand!

Though that his hair looked tidier than last week. Maybe his wife is a hairdresser?

Too much Carol Klein wittering about cherry trees.

Best bit is to be able to hear what he is saying without having g to try and ignore the background music. Although not so keen on listening to CK.

I like CK but agree that she went on too long last night.
Apart from that, what a lovely programme.

Really enjoyed it and glad for the normality on a Friday night.

I enjoyed all of the programme, including Carol. Thought those cherry blossoms were gorgeous.

I loved seeing the young lady with all her healthy looking seedlings. I hope her gardening provides great joy throughout her life.

I really like Carol's enthusiasm..and the cherry blossom was beautiful..

I quite like items about growers who specialise in one particular plant being inserted into episodes of GW but a whole programme?

The man with his gooooooseberries nearly had me reaching for the off button. Even his wife said she hated them.

I do hope Monty is OK. We're back at Adam Frost's again next week.

I love any gardening programme that Carol Klein isn't in. Her lyrical witterings irritates me beyond measure.

I love any gardening programme that Carol Klein isn't in. Her lyrical witterings irritates me beyond measure.

"gorgeous colour" "simply bursts with colour" blah blah blah
Honestly she ought to go and work in a paint shop.

Carol Klein was an art teacher before setting up her own plant nursery and becoming a TV gardening presenter so maybe that explains her love of colour.

That man and his dedication to his gooseberries was beyond comprehension. He missed school sports day because his gooseberries needed him more. His children must be thrilled with dad’s trophies.
I loved the inventiveness of the two men who grew everything in pots because their gardens lacked soil.
What a good programme.

Is Monty ill? I thought there were too many video repeats in Friday's programme. They must have had loads of home videos sent in so why couldn't they show us some of those? We've already seen the young man with the chickens and the woman with the roses. I liked the man in the Clapham garden and didnt miss Carol Klein.

Love the programme and the films of people’s gardens have been brilliant.
Hmm , Gooseberry man would have me running for the hills!

I thought all the filmed ones were repeats. Gooseberry man has been on before, so has the Clapham chap, Chicken florist definitely.

Monty wasn’t filming the last day or two, he would have needed an umbrella, as it was he looked dressed for a heatwave.

Pleased it’s Adam next week.

My DH didn’t enjoy it, he likes to see Frances in her allotment, ‘proper’ gardening.

???

I usually look forward to and enjoy Monty and most of Gardeners World but this week apart from the chap with the tropical type garden in London it was all repeats. I was just as annoyed this time of watching as the first time I watched the gooseberry man, how can he justify dealing with those and missing his childrens sports day, definitely does not have his priorities right. I get the impression that Monty's garden is looking less well cared for than in previous years, seem to be lots of shots of overgrown & messy area's. I did wonder if normally he has more helpers/employers and these have not been able to be there due to Covid so it's all getting a bit out of hand?

It's not her love of colour that irritates me; that would be understandable in an art teacher or a gardener. It's her gushing, over the top soliloquies and prose that grate. Sorry but I want hints, tips and information from a gardening programme, not the warblings of an over excited enthusiast.

I've just watched the recent programme on iplayer and enjoyed it. Agree about the gooseberry man.
But I'm not a regular viewer so can't compare.
It has motivated me to do something about our front garden - everything needs to be cut back.

toscalily the chap with the tropical garden, I’ve seen him before.

Boring programme with a silly gooseberry man and all repeated stuff. Looking forward to seeing Adam next week as Monty's garden is now looking so messy and what heatwave does he mean as its been raining for days.

I think BBC have been great in being able to bring us GW during lockdown and beyond. Well done to all presenters in doing the programme every week. Probably been only one camera person there. Perhaps they had to set up cameras/recording themselves.

Monty did say that Friday's programme was looking at past clips.

Next year will give us the normal GW with allotments etc. However, I have loved the viewers vids and I do hope they continue.

I haven’t actually watched the new GW format, but Carol Klein irritates the life out of me! Overly enthusiastic to say the least! I like enthusiasm, but she goes way over the top. I love to watch the Chelsea Flower Show on tv in May, but feel like switching off when CK comes on.
