Lots of walls and great greenhouse but at what cost? Are we allowed to know? It would help us when we have our own new patch.

Anything you did at Berryfields would have been removing or changing something done by others, with all the endless debate and risk of upsetting someone, somewhere, that would have entailed.I never took to the Berryfileds as a venue for GW anyway - it was plainly unrepresentative of the day to day experience of most gardeners and always looked gloomy somehow. The additional facial lighting so often used seemed to make the backdrop look dark - perhaps they were just unlucky with the light levels on filming day!

It's the long term gardening projects that are the real challenge, so I hope this is something you will address in your new endevours.Also as requested in an earlier post please raise awareness of Lyme Disease and other tick-borne illness see UK charity website www.lymediseaseaction.org.ukAfter 6 years of battling this illness I have overcome severe debilitating and painful arthritis and muscle weakness and can again enjoy my gardening.
