After the thread on the Chelsea Flower Show, it was thought that a thread for Gardener's World might be a liked idea.
So here's a trial thread.....and see how we go!

I think it's just once a month or quarter - the rest of the time we'll get GW as well as our English non Scottish cohorts.
My mint needs chopping - I knew I should have left it in a pot
Baz posted:Yogi19 posted:Meeee! Hi Baz

Thank heavens for Virgin and their BBC England channels (that's what hubby calls them)

lol at Nellie having a nap.
I wonder where Nigel is?
Great to see kids being encouraged to grow plants

I'm having to catch up on the iPlayer anyway, so I'll get tonight's GW there as well. Things are a bit topsy-turvey here at the moment, so lots of stuff is queuing up to be watched on the iPlayer.

No problem, Fluffs.
Baz posted:They are lucky to have such a lovely garden
Baz posted:Why haven't I thought of that
I always do it. Not!
They call Monty, Mr Longmeadow
Baz posted:Hope they all washed their hands
Yes
I'm sure it was Cosmos seeds that PB planted, as well as Nemesia.
Beautiful peony
Good hint, when we pot on PB's Cosmos plants

Sorry Baz, I was replying to Pirate in the Tory thread.
Baz posted:By the way Yogi....you know the presenter guy on Springwatch ....apparently he's got Aspbergers
I remember reading an interview where he mentioned it
Baz posted:Yogi19 posted:Sorry Baz, I was replying to Pirate in the Tory thread.
I knew where you were
I refuse to watch another interview/debate, I'm sick of hearing them
Just goes to show, you can grow plants anywhere
Alliums look like lollipops

He's doing a programme about it
Baz posted:I'd get seasick gardening on there
Ah, Nigel is there now.
Was it Fluffs who said she's been to Chatsworth?
Baz posted:Hope there are no more like the block garden !!
It was rubbish
Love the river
Now, that's a greenhouse!!!!
It didn't look cold.
Baz posted:You'd need a big garden for those
It would fill my little garden
Baz posted:He sieves his soil
Now that's dedication
I always make a right mess when I'm potting up
Baz posted:That one heck of a big pot
I wouldn't like to try to move it!
Baz posted:Yogi19 posted:Was it Fluffs who said she's been to Chatsworth?
Either her , or EC
Baz posted:Don't think I'll bother with them
Far too much faffing around. I like, "plant, water and grow".
I like the water vortex. I like water features for gardens.

Were they easy to grow?

They must be ...I managed it
Me too
I was dead heading and watering my hanging baskets tonight.
Aww, I miss growing tomatoes.
Baz posted:Goshnthat hour went quickly
Always does, for me.
Baz posted:Mr B trimmed our holly bush the other day ...it's a nice round ball now
Did you want it to be a nice round ball?
Baz posted:Yogi19 posted:I was dead heading and watering my hanging baskets tonight.
Yes, I was dead heading mine too
By the look of the weather forecast, I won't need to do any watering tomorrow.

Thanks for the company, see you in a minute in Gogglebox.
*pauses, looks to camera* Hello
Yes!!!! A Gardeners World thread. I've moved on from BB & now series link gardening shows. I love Monty.
Not that I've done much in the garden this year, but I have managed to grow these beauties in pots. It's an Allium Universe. The head of it is about the size of a small football.

Monty is my gardening guru.

That's a whopper, Cinds.
I'm going to attempt to dry the flower heads once they start fading.

Hope it goes well
Next Friday the 16th is a major episode as it's the 50th anniversary of Gardeners' World.
One of the early presenters was Percy Thrower. This is a very old gardening programme by him. It seems to be made before Gardeners' World started. the Huntlet Film Archives date it as 1950 on their site. You will probably need to increase the volume to be able to hear him as it's a lot quieter than normal.

Hi Baz
Love the roses. I bet the scent is beautiful
Baz posted:Yogi19 posted:Love the roses. I bet the scent is beautiful
Yes , I think roses are my favourite plant
I love them.
The Nigel topiary is looking rather bedraggled.

I like forget-me-nots
He loves his dogs
Baz posted:They are self seeding on his trousers
There were lots of seeds on his trousers
Dame Edna flowers

Doh! I thought it was a new gardening technique
What the heck!
Baz posted:Trouble with those show gardens is that you can't replicate them cos the plants are always naturally out at the same time

Yes , I'm sure I should have been born into one like it
Me too. I'd be right at home there
Baz posted:Look at the bee
Huge!
Baz posted:I like the dandelions
Yes.
Lovely geraniums. Mine will need cut back hard, after flowering
Baz posted:Gardening on wheels ...I like that idea
Baz posted:That looks messy
I'd need to sort it out
I like water in a garden. Wish I had room for a pond again.
That won best in show?!
Baz posted:Don't like that
Ditto
Baz posted:Yogi19 posted:I like water in a garden. Wish I had room for a pond again.
Bit dodgy with small kids though
We inherited one in our last house (in the garden, not the house). The boys were 6 and 3 with youngest son on the way, so we had to be very careful - even though it wasn't that big.
Bring them in where? I don't have a greenhouse any more.

I like campanulas but I'm not so keen on dahlias - not overly keen on daisy-like flowers.
I could spend ages going round that show
Baz posted:Yogi19 posted:I like campanulas but I'm not so keen on dahlias - not overly keen on daisy-like flowers.
Oh I like dahlias ...
Oops
Do you like Livingstone Daisies?
Baz posted:I like fuscias too
Reminds me of a neighbour when I was a child. She had a fuscia hedge (or so it seemed.

Baz posted:Her accent is strange ..what part of Scotland I wonder
It's annoying. Sounds East coast to me.
She's boring me now
East Lothian - I was right about East coast.
That allium is not as big as Cinds'
