We are always looking for old gardening programs to watch on the box, and came across Real Gardens!! on All 4 1998 -2000, with …
Monty Don
Ann-Marie -Powell
Carol Klein…….
how young and fresh faced they all looked, and how gardening has changed, they visited Chelsea Flower Show oh my goodness, it was dreadful, not one decent garden!!
Monty asks a lady gardener in Norfolk what do you want a pond for? can’t see the point of it!!!!
So if you have a smart TV you might want to watch this series, certainly entertaining, and the raport between them all is most amusing…..
See what you think!!!

Sounds good, amazing how all the attitudes to things change, including show gardens. This year's Chelsea gardens seemed to contain an awful lot of 'hard landscaping', don't they know you need soil to stop flooding?

That is so funny about Monty and the pond! We all change over the years for sure, will try looking that up, thank you!

How thoughts change ! I don't think we can get that channel, but I taped some gardening programs many years ago. I'll have to try and find them.

Don't think we can get that channel. We do now have fibre and a speed of 51Mbs. Before it was never more than 1.6! Can now watch BBC i-player so great for catching up on missed programmes.

(Does anyone else use subtitles?)

Eirlys, I struggle with hearing some programmes so OH suggested using sub-titles. We both now find it a very helpful tool!

My OH has subtitles on for most things,been trying to get him to have a hearing aid for years!!
Honeysuckle watched another this afternoon, so funny!! before political correctness reared its ugly head!!
Sundais Monty has certainly changed, much more relaxed years ago!
