Gardeners World
"Trevor Appleton" wrote
For the last 17 years since Geoff Hamilton sadly departed this world, our household expression for watching GW at 8.30 on a Friday has been putting 'Geoff' on. No one could replace him and certainly not Titch or Toby, or even Montys first charge of the helm. However I can finally now say that I feel we have someone I like equally as much as Geoff - good old Monty!! I'm not sure. I have noticed that if we go out I don't bother to record the programme or watch it on iPlayer whereas with Geoff it was compulsive viewing. I do think Monty is a good presenter though. My beef with Monty is that he is strictly organic and won't even mention chemicals, makes his own compost which few can and decries peat based compost which we all know is the best for plants, and has a field for a garden. All that must make it very difficult for most "new" potential gardeners watching who have, maybe, 30ft by 20ft as a garden and no room for a compost bin. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

You may have forgotten, or never knew, that Geoff Hamilton's TV garden at Barnsdale was 5 acres. He acquired and developed it for the purpose of GW.The (many) apparent "small suburban plot" areas shown on GW, were created for the purposes of TV broadcast. An interesting place to visit. I was surprised how really small some of those plots are. I never quite saw the point of a lawn whose diameter was about the same as my outstretched arms.
