Beechgrove Garden is on Youtube.

Just in case you didn't already know.

My wife, first time living over the border is SO impressed. Monty thingy eat your heart out....LOL

PH

 

Its on every sunday morning in England and on I player, I dont think you need to move in order to see it.

 

I watch it/record it every week. Different to GW but both are great.
Watched Love your Garden tonight......ok, bit sentimental but lovely prog. Pure escapism and Alan Titchmarsh and his colleagues sparkle

 

Watch it ...... I`m a Monty Don fan. I like watching Beechgrove, and catch up as often as possible though.

 

We find GW a lot less practical. BG runs trials on the veg which GW seem to ignore not to mention we feel Monty is talking down all the time, but that's our perception.

 

Monty has grown on me........ok, he makes mistakes as we all do but I like his adventurous style and his exuberance.
I think we will miss him when he does hang up his secateurs on GW

 

I quite like beechgrove, I'm not trying to belittle it when I say it's a bit how garden programmes used to be, we still need that kind of programme.

Gardeners World has gone a bit OTT and doesn't often speak to the little bloke anymore, Monty has grown a bit on me also, but the programme is how I found the RHS to be, a bit elitest.

I gave up being a member of the RHS some years ago.

 

That's interesting. I do know he has battled depression for most of his adult life and even suffers from S.A.D. I think he would be charmed to think he presents as having bounds of self confidence. I like him as a presenter
