I'm a bit disappointed there's no coverage of the build up of Chelsea - I really do enjoy watching how it all comes together, what sometimes looked like chaotic madness and thinking are they really going to get that finished on time? - but to be fair to the BBC they have put the show on 3 times most days - all we need now is to see plenty coverage of the real stars of the show....the PLANTS and not celebs ....oh and not just the large gardens...and more time in the floral marquee...or am I just asking for tooooo much now  |

they'll probably end up spending too much time on the same gardens and celebs as usual

I hate celebs and cookery programmes - they're both very boring. It should only be about plants (that's what I think anyway)

You're right enough piskie Chelsea does start on Sunday hoorah we're getting to see some of the build up - I think that part is exciting as you get to hear how the designers are coping with all the pressure. I don't mind one or even at a push two celebrities on speaking about their gardening ways - but I don't like when we are taken on some trip to a far off distant (nice free holiday) place with a presenter - I'm quite happy to be taken to the floral marquee to see the flowers and find out about them there from the people who have build those magnificent works of art! I hope I'm wrong Cherry but no doubt they will repeat and revisit things we've already seen countless times when there is no need to do that with such a vast show. I know it must sound as if I'm moaning but it's only one once a year - and we only get coverage of other shows when Gardeners World visit them....Why? |

it would be nice to see much more of the show, which is what people tune in for, I get fed up with them going back to the same gardens over and over too. The do give some coverage to Hampton Court daisy but again not enough |
