Gardeners’ World & Alan Titchmarsh Gardening Club 2025

@Obelix-Vendée I watched the last episode again this morning and there is definitely some winter scenes going on in the specials. Frances is in winter clothes, Rachel puts the lights on, and Adam is planting hellebores.

I enjoyed watching the last episode.

 

So did I @simone_in_wiltshire , particularly the visit to Waterperry Gardens. That is one of my favourites to visit, particularly when the Michaelmas daisies are in flower.

I found the item about the planting on the housing estate fascinating, and I didn't realise at first that the lady was Beth Chatto's granddaughter.
Our front garden dries out very quickly in the Summer as it's in full sun from sunrise until at least 3pm, and this year the front lawn was like straw very quickly (although it's now green and lush again).

I would like to try that type of planting if things continue the same way weatherwise, although digging up my OH's lawn would probably result in divorce .

 

The same with me @AnniD. I had no problems with MD this time

I had started writing when OH decided to go to Avebury and I had to stop. These front gardens are nice but the owners are not allowed to take care of them.

 

I watched the first winter episode and enjoyed each of the topics. I will watch it again tomorrow.

 

It was a lovely programme @simone_in_wiltshire

 

Did catch it Friday evening with Frances whos getting really good at presenting . Some lovely gardens shown and dedicated owners & Gardners . Enjoyed !

 

..... and she's very easy on the eye

 

I am a relative new gardeners to a lot of you on here, but in my short gardening hobby one thing I have learned is that gardening is repetitive, as sure as the last series is making leaf mould, lifting and storing dahlia and oiling and cleaning tools, as sure as night follows day, you know the first series next year will be dividing snowdrops, cleaning the greenhouse, sorting seeds and showing a garden somewhere warm, whilst in reality for us it will be bloody cold and wet outside, oh joy!
