? Gardeners World ?

Apparently Monty is having a few weeks off. Hope he’s OK.

He's probably on some global eco trip ?

I was just thinking that Adam seemed a bit lacklustre. I wonder if he’s ok, having downsized considerably.
I did like the gardening philosophy of the chap in the hat and smock, sorry I don’t recall his name.

Monty is doing the Radio 4 Appeal tomorrow morning for the Soil Association re peat free soil. I expect that’s a recorded programme.

Monty’s fine I think, he’s on Twitter anyway. He’s got a new series about Spanish gardens coming out in the next few months, so he could well be over there filming. * J52* do you mean Joe Swift? I like him.

No Casdon on last night's programme there was a piece that featured a man wearing a smock type garment and a hat!

I like Joe Swift as well ... he nearly always wears a hat.

Why did Adam move, as his home was so delightful, and I thought he saw it as a very long term project?

I haven’t watched it yet, but believe that Adam has had a difficult time of late. If I remember correctly, his wife has long COVID.
I also like Joe Swift - he is the son of the late Clive Swift (Mr Bouquet in Keeping up Appearances) and was in many other programmes.

Sorry Millie22, I haven’t had chance to watch last nights episode yet, I just associated Joe Swift with the hat (it does really suit him!).

I liked the man in the smock. He said his wife made it for him.
That’s a nice photo of Joe Swift that you’ve posted Casdon.

It's been recorded I watch it tomorrow.

No it wasn’t Joe Swift. A few years I saw Joe Swift doing a one man talk show, he was very entertaining and hardly mentioned gardening! But he was gracious enough to invite questions at the end and some could be on the topic of gardens.
The man who owned last night’s garden was delightful and had my style of garden.

I’ve read an interview Adam did earlier this year when he said he wanted more time with his family. TV and other garden events were making his life chaotic with little thinking time. They wanted to slow down.

I’ve just finished mowing so I’ll now do that. Slow down, pour a G+T and look forward to catching up with last nights GW.

Well, I never knew that.

I did like Clive Swift ? He was a very versatile actor.

Oh, Clive was married to Margaret Drabble who is Joe's mother!

You learn something new every day on GN

Oh yes I can see it now! Every day’s a school day as they say. Joe Swift is very knowledgeable but Adam is my favourite.

Oh, just watched the programme - the guy in the smock made by his late wife made me want to cry. What a lovely man, and such affinity with his plants.

I hope Adam is able to spend more time with his family and can nurture them as he does with his plants.

A little bit of trivia….Gert Schley and Charles Dowding (of No Dig fame) are neighbours. Their Somerset gardens back on to one another

Monty was missing again last night so it was a programme with Adam and another presenter.

I loved the alleyway garden and all the different planters even a bread bin and a pair of old trousers ?

I missed the name of the other presenter but she had one of those soothing, lovely voices I could listen to all evening ?

I like Adam too.

That alleyway garden was wonderful!

Lovely programme last night. Adam’s voice amuses me the way it suddenly lurches up and down the scale but he’s a nice presenter.

The alley garden was amazing. I must drill some holes in my old bread bin! I doubt his wife will ever get him to move and I bet the neighbours want to keep him.

I loved that alleyway garden too, and I’d like him as my neighbour! There was a good choice of home gardeners this week, I thought the guy with the vegetable growing tiny backyard was very inventive as well.

Has Adam moved again? I am confused.
