Hello All
In article , K wrote: Did you watch it last night? What did you think? I personally enjoyed the gardens, but thought the "tests" a bit weird. What made it even better was that another RYE won. Actually as some one interested in Family History as well as gardening I would like to know which RYE tribe he comes from, so if anyone knows him, perhaps they could put us in touch.

I also thought the tests were strange. I seem to think in previous years they told us who got what marks for them, or am I thinking of something else? I thought it was great that DG was so certain which one was going to win. He got that wrong didn't he!! K |

He got that wrong didn't he!! thought that the gardens were , in the main, good, but that the cobra was too dominant for its space. The tests were interesting, and were there to asses their general garden knowledge, so there was a good range of tests, from old tools, to companion planting, to season identification. Would not have liked to be one of the judges. Mike www.british-naturism.org.uk |

"K" wrote in message ... Did you watch it last night? What did you think? K I only got around to watching it last night..... I was disappointed with the whole thing :~( Most of the gardens were not very inspiring. OK the Cobra was fun and the one with the huge tall pots was at least modern, but there were not really any that were outstanding. I personally found the winning garden boring and fairly ordinary. Maybe he only won because he got all the quiz questions right ? I am usually a Gavin fan, but thought the presentation was diabolical. The Quiz - it was a pity he gave the answers straight away - some of us would like to test out own knowledge. - there did not give the scores of the contestants, so you had no idea who might be in the lead - the questions were weird !! The films of the contestants gardens were very bad quality - you could not get much idea of their gardens at all. The 'video diary' was farcical. I can watch rubbish like that on Big brother if I feel so inclined !! I must say the G of the Y has been far better presented in the past by AT :~)) Jenny |
