    And Monty's garden to me just seems to be made up of bits they should provide a arial view map so we could see the layout properly then maybe it would make more sense.

    Please Mr BBC man / Director / Monty / Nigel / Nelly / Anybody  :/

    That's actually a really good point. It's all very fragmented to me.

    There's a map in GW mag every year or so.
    Or have I imagined that?

    Let's face it, we could never aspire to Montys garden, but it is a delight to watch someone potter about giving you various little tips etc. Genuine and real and the people / gardens featured in the show are like kindred spirits. Monty should record his voice, perhaps reading a seed catalogue from 1935 - better than Horlicks for sure!

    Best be off - must clear up the mess I made with compost outside! Bought new plants, humble but effective! WELLY BRIGADE! I SALUTE YOU!💂🏻‍♀️

    Wasn't imagining it - March issue.

    There’s several plans of Longmeadow online ... here’s one that was on this forum a very long time ago ... a few ‘blasts from the past there too’ 🙄

    edit:  ignore the above ... they’ve beaten me to it and with a more recent version too 👍 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Strangely, that's not as mahoosive as I thought it would be.
    i suppose that fragmenting it down every week without actually showing the garden as a whole, gives the illusion of it being even larger! Not that it's in any way small though 😊
