Kitchen Garden Forum

Tracey Ermin's bed comes to mind ! When I think of the vast cost of transporting all that stone from Malta as well as the construction costs I think the whole thing was was a waste of money. Perhaps Next year the RHS should have a different theme altogether and bring some reality back into being. Make all the plots the size of the average surburbwn garden and set an overall budget of £2000. The big designers would stay away but anybody can create a garden with an unlimited budget. It might be a greater test of their ability to work within much narrower constraints and also encourage the average Joe blogs gardener to think he could actually achieve something interesting with a little time and effort.

I enjoyed seeing the process and thinking behind Charlotte Harris's garden and the colours and perfection of the Japanese man's garden. Chris Beardshaw's looked like a proper garden but he went a bit Arty Farty over the link to music. I prefer birdsong to Beethoven and Mozart in the garden but he was trying to impress us with how clever he is.

Looking at one of the winning garden designs, reminded me of tank traps in WW2.

Maybe they know something we don't Shallot Man...

Lost interest after Tuesday, not watched it since.
