| Just watched the program........
Although it was OK, I feel that it was better in the past when they had more
time to show each candidate taking the various tests and a separate program with
the garden build. It just all seemed such a rush to cram everything into the one
hour.
Any other thoughts ??

Agreed-far to much going on and not enough time to take in everything. As
usual there seemed very little emphasis on plants.
They could have made a separate programme about the candidates own gardens
which looked very interesting.
I got some of the questions right --honest.

Mostly along the lines of "Monty, why have you lent your name to this
dire disorganised trash-frenzy, we expect better of you".

But look on the bright side; it was such a mad rush, there was no
time to invite the audience to telephone in their votes.

I would have much preferred the programme to be all about their own
gardens, no silly high-speed makeovers.

I passed on every plant family q :-( Must do some homework.

Yes, some of them looked really interesting. I loved those mad 'sculptures' and
structures in that one chaps garden :~))

Didn't. That was the easiest part :o)
But I still have lots of botany homework to do (currently my two years
notes are thrown all over my bed - made a start this morning but got
diverted with stripping paint on the stairs. As one do.)

If Monty and I ever find ourselves alone in a garage (did someone
say, "shoestring production"?), I don't want to disappoint him.

He will then insist you call him Montagu, like his closest friends do.
