Yes, Thank You!!! English gardens are so incredibly beautiful and inspiring.

I've been binge watching the last few seasons of Gardener's World all weekend. I've enjoyed this show over the years, watching when I can find US access to them - best site that I had found to date was hdclump that I could watch from the computer. Now I have a smart TV and a subscription to Brit Box which airs current Gardener's World episodes and access to archived ones.

I love the British accents and am picking up patterns. The most obvious ones to me are that the words that Brits pronounce with a soft A, Americans pronounce with a long A (plant, garden, tomato, ...) Also, I had to look up what courgette was - surprised to find out it is what Americans call zucchini. Then I looked up rocket - Americans call it arugula. And a third one - Aubergine is what Americans call eggplant. So interesting!

Thank you for your kind messages. I realised that I hadn't put up any of my visits from last summer.
I've still got the Chelsea Flower Show 2023 to do- but it will take a while as I always take so many pictures!!!
