Holly can cope with shade and woodland conditions. 

Talkback: Monty Don returns to Gardeners' World

Like the way you're using the different levels GW - my back garden is all one level and virtually square - I'm having to think hard how to build some structure into it.

Talkback: Monty Don returns to Gardeners' World

But surely it's a programme for all gardeners - if it was just for beginners what would the more experienced ones watch?  You've found something of interest in the programme - it may not be the same bits that I find interesting but it's something.  It's a pretty impossible task to please all the people all of the time in just 30 mins, but as the trailers say, hopefully there will be something in each programme to inspire you.  More detailed instruction can be found all over the web and in magazines and books.

And has been said before, Monty Don's garden is less than a quarter of the size of Geoff Hamilton's, and until recently he and his wife did all the work themselves.

still very cold

Lots of tree seeds blowing in the wind - we have ash trees in the back garden and ash seedlings in the front garden.  We have chesnut and oak seedlings appear where the jays and squirrels bury their stash.  And then there's bird droppings .......................

Ah, you're probably treating it too well - flowering and producing seed is a survival strategy - if it's being looked after that well it doesn't need to flower and seed to reproduce itself - leave off adding the organic stuff for a couple of years and let it struggle a bit - it'll bloom it's socks off if you ignore it

MORNING FORKERS

Posted: 31/03/2013 at 08:35

Morning all from a chilly Norfolk - we woke to another sprinkling of the white stuff all over the place - just as well I'm still coughing and sneezing - wouldn't be well enough to go out into the gatden if the weather was good enough.  Shall stay indoors and cook roast lamb
