Gardeners' World returns for the start of the gardening year with Monty Don in the garden at his Herefordshire home, Longmeadow. As the charge towards spring gathers pace, Monty, along with Carol Klein, Joe Swift and Rachel de Thame, are preparing for the season ahead.

Monty Don opened the programme and paused to see Anemone blanda 'White Splendour' , Windflower growing in the coppice, and with the official start of spring and Mothering Sunday only days away, Monty and the team look at the practical ways to achieve a better looking garden at this busy time of y...

As the clocks move forward, the longer days of spring are welcomed by every gardener. It's a busy time in the garden and the longer daylight hours present a great opportunity to get on with larger gardening projects.

With the garden growing apace, Monty shows us how we can take advantage of the new growth of all sorts of perennials, and begins by taking cuttings from emerging Delphiniums in his border and also from a pot grown plant.

It's Easter and the biggest gardening weekend of the year so even if you haven't yet dusted off your lawnmower there's plenty of advice and inspiration from large projects to tackling weeds.

Bradshaw'; Papaver orientale, Orienta...

At Longmeadow, Monty Don reveals how the garden has changed over the last four weeks. There has been a lot of rain but the garden hasn't suffered that much. He takes a look at the dahlias. He admits that the grass borders are giving him a lot of pleasure at the moment.

In the Jewel Garden Monty feeds his containers and explains that if you want to encourage flowering you need a feed with a fertilizer that's high in potassium or potash, and if you want to produce more leaves, use one that's rich in nitrogen. Alternatively make your own, one made with comfrey is ...

Longmeadow is in full bloom, but Monty Don is keen to remind us that there is still time to sow some late vegetables, even if you are really short of space.

Last Saturday we had the equinox where just for one day you get exactly the same amount of night and day: twelve hours of dark, twelve hours of light. Monty feels it's like a seesaw, and now it just tips down towards mid winter. It's not great for some of us but, there are plants that don't se...

Monty plants Mediterranean herb cuttings that he took in the summer in the greenhouse to overwinter, the extra warmth will give him a small supply over winter and it'll keep them out of the wet.
