Did anyone see gardeners world tonight? Monty Don explored why there has been an increase in the popularity of allotments. I wondered if anyone saw the program and would be intrested in what you thought. I thought it was exellent and for me monty made it intresting and enjoyable.

I enjoyed it ... good to see it rains on other people too!  

Not sure about all the super-imposed shots though.... still Monty Don is easy to listen to.... and it's great to get a glimpse into other peoples plots.

Thought it was interesting.I use my garden but if I leased an allotment would be annoyed that the threat to allotments was minimised and made to sound impossible when we know the opposite.No mention of how to get an allotment should you be interested and alot to do with a film being made.It would have been nice to know that that newly made plot could have been turned over to people in the area wanting allotments.Still lots of nice Arty camera shots and Montey was good but...
