  • Thanks Verdun but have you looked at Steve's remarks on boring garden tasks  I am a little put out that he infers us gardeners use sleeves instead of dirty gloves to cure an itchy nose bad form .image what does he want us all with muddy faces I don't mind being a member of the black hand gang  but black face gang doesn't have the same ring to it image what an embarrassment image

    watched Monty's new show with keen interest and loved it looking forward to next week. Nice one Monty.

    PS, what's all this then using the sleeve of your cardy to wipe your nose? I just uses a lettuce leaf then put it in the salad bowl?

    It was a lovely programme, the bits I saw. I'm afraid Monty's voice always sends me to sleep!

    Frank! Yuk!

    Missed the start so came in at the Hampton Court part.   Pleasant enough programme but no new insights.   Agree with Busy about Monty being soporific.  

    Good to see Levens Halls garden again.  Here are some pics I took there in July 2011 - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/library/1107%20Levens%20Hall?sort=2&page=1

    Lovely photos, Obelixx.

    I found the forging of antique shears interesting and the using of them afterwards. But topiary isn't really my thing, too formal and so much extra work!

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
