Have you caught 'The A-Z of tv gardening ' which was on BBC2 today - fab !

Old excerpts of garden programmes linked by Carol Kirkman (BBC weather lady).

Looks like it will be saving my sanity.

Same sorry story for me too when we moved into our renovated house six yrs ago - builders rubble buried all over the garden.

What to do? - well I did do the hard work in clearing it and improving my soil and now we get Silver in our local 'in Bloom' comps.

Alternatively you could make use of the poor soil and utilise it for plants that like those conditions - quite an opportunity really - rather like the earlier suggestion of Buddleia and other wildflowers.

I enjoy Longmeadow and would love to see more shots of it. My question is - Which gardens and styles have influenced Monty the most? After all he has been in the very fortunate position to see many gardens all over the world (Excellent series by the way). Does anyone have any ideas? Will Monty reveal his biggest influences on Longmeadow? Can't wait to hear.
