Stuart when I reply, the cursor is here at the top. I type my lot then
transfer it to the bottom because some people get their knickers in a twist
when someone top posts.

But I can leave it like this if you like, but you just see the wobbly it
presents. ......

TOP POSTING UUUUUUUUUUUuuurrrrrrrrggggggggggg

LETTER OF THE WEEK

My gardener of over 50 years who has gardened from 'back yard to half an
acre says 'Well said'


It's been my beef with Gardeners World for a long while.
They seem to have no concept of what a small garden is and that small
gardens are now the norm especially in the South. A small garden is a lot
less than the sq footage of the house sometimes not much bigger than the
living room.

GW persist in talking like the man sitting next to a friend at a lunch
who
said "I just have a small arboretum" (a total contradiction unless he had
bonsai), which is what is turning people off. It bares no resemblance
to the
reality of most.

Monty talks of planting 5 or 7 of everything because it looks so much
better, true if your garden is a field, but for most of us one is all we
have space for unless you want monoculture.


+1

Last week's edition was particularly bad. Monty cuts the top off a rogue
pink
hollyhock. Monty pushes his wheel barrow, Monty pats his dog. The visit
to the
allotment and Carol Klein were good, but the other 20 minutes of the
programme
weren't worth watching


Is there a good reason why Mike's replies form part of his signature?
Something's not working well. ISTR this has been raised before? Jolly
annoying anyway
