    Just seen that there's 2 winter specials, looking back at the summer, on tonight and next Friday

    Hopefully not just a rehash of all the viewers lockdown videos, it got a bit repetitive during the regular season

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit of a rehash tbh.

    Thumbs up from me for Autumn Raspberries, especially good crop this year. Larger berries and much longer fruiting time and the birds dont seem to be aware of them! They started in July and will keep going til frosty weather. The dry sunny weather earlier this year made for a poor summer crop. I read somewhere not to cut the canes down til Spring, I usually cut once fruit is done as the summer ones being mindful to leave new branches of those for next year's fruit.
    The Autumn variety fruit on new growth of the same year.

    Have to agree with you, I have them growing for the past few years, they usually fruit for me from September to Halloween, depending on how wet the late autumn is. The trick seems to be to harvest the ripe berries regularly to encourage the plant to continue producing.

    That’s a good idea. Would be good to show some things to do in winter, although minimal, there still can be some things to do

    I’m distracted by Monty’s dogs every week ... they are gorgeous! It’s a great TV programme even for a novice like me.

    That’s some transformation in the Leeds garden, just shows what can be done with a little imagination. Wouldn’t have the patience for all that watering though!

    Dissapointed with that advice by Joe Swift in regard to the no dig bed. There is absolutely no need to leave that bed empty. It can be planted straight away.

    Hands down my favorite episode last year was the visit to Dave Guolson’s garden (professor of biological science and bee expert). So nice to see it repeated because I think his message is so important!

    His study in Germany that there has been a 75% drop in flying insects in 26years stopped me in my tracks last year. What kind of world will our children have in another 26 years???.....I can’t even bear to think about it!

    And his message for us is so simple..leave a patch of unmown lawn, and don’t spray pesticides, it’s literally that simple to make a difference.....!


    Rant over :pac::pac: next note to self, I must invest in some helibores to plug winter/spring gap, loved them in tonight’s show.

    i thought they'd have helicoptered a camera crew in for the occasion so monty could have done his wise avuncular routine. and then back to the begonias.

    and all mention of digging deep holes edited out of it.

    They normally repeat it early on a Sunday morning followed later on by a repeat of Beechgrove.

    I'm sure it will get shown on a prime time slot when the BBC regains its senses. (Almost universal anger on twitter in regard to its postponement.)

    Sure I suppose how could it be any other way, the world doesn’t revolve around Monty even though I do think so myself :pac:

    I’ve found Gardening with Carol Klein on channel 5 +1 (on now if anyone’s interested!) not too bad an evening’s substitute I hope!

    Yes but much earlier than it used to be, was alway directly before beechgrove.
