Gardeners World

Too precious for words.

 

I'm finding that I like Monty Don a lot more this time round - I actually stopped watching during his first turn at the helm.

The one I miss is Chris Beardshaw - I'd like to see him back in some capacity

 

Yeah, Monty leaves me cold. I've tried to like him, I really have, but he just ends up really irritating me.

I still watch it, but mainly for Carole and Joe.

 

An hour long programme Gardener's World this Friday, followed by Italian Gardens. Bring it on :happydance:

 

Half an hour a week of gardening seems odd to me given the popularity of gardening.
However, every time I switch on the telly - someone seems to be cooking something.

I moved out to New Zealand about 6 years ago. Here we're still getting Toby and crew on the Living Channel...grrrr. Only a year behind. And what's more, we can't watch the shows on the beeb's webstite. Are there any DVD's of recent series? Can't find any on Amazon, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

 

I don't think they have the series on DVD - I would love to get a DVD of Geoffrey Smith's World of Flowers - he was the guy who inspired me to get into gardening. Sadly missed.

It certainly is an improvement on the last series, though I am fed up with box hedges already!

Have been watching Beechgrove, the only problem is they are about four weeks behind Gloucester in growing time though that is 350 miles further north, what stage of the growing season is 350 miles further south from here at?

Somewhere in France????

I like BBC Gardener world so much , even though i am not totally understand all the latin terms( i am not English)

so sad i live in France and i couldnt watch it on BBC website. I like Monty and Carol very much .

 

Try a sneaky approach Cathyland, type in Google UK into your Google France, click on that & then see if it will let you watch BBC.

There are a few clips of Gardeners world on you tube.

Or, see if you like this http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/...30913-zigs-garden-countryside-tv-channel.html

Not quite Gardeners world i'm afraid.

 

Cathy, you could look into 'ways of watching BBC Iplayer'. A British IP address might help.

 

I went to amazon uk looking for the DVD of gardener s world but i couldnt find any of it. Personally i would prefer keep all the GW in my computers so i can watch anytime i need and want. I already have the collection of 2005 and 2006. :Dlearn a lot from it:yess:
I like Alan Titchmarshs too, very funny way of presenting.

 

I watched Gardener's World last night and was so envious of the rain Monty was getting in his garden. It's so dry here on the East coast - we haven't had any significant rain for two months and the garden is sooo dry.

Monty, in his unimitable way, gave me some good ideas for cheap supports and his no nonsense approach to gardening is refreshing to watch after so much quick fix and pretension in other programmes.

However I'm certainly not into the straight lines that he has in his own garden. My little patch of heaven is curvy and although it drives the grass cutter mad I wouldn't have it any other way.
