Taking to Twitter, the green-fingered presenter wrote: "Finished couple of days filming GW in the garden after a three-week gap due to Hampton Court and Proms (we shoot a week ahead so had programme in hand). Warmish. Dryish. Good though."
One fan took to the comments to plead with the BBC to stop taking the popular Friday evening show off-air. "Please @GWandShows @BBC stop removing @GWandShows in favour of sports events and other things. Great. Can't wait to see it," they wrote, while another added: "Feels longer than three weeks!"

Thank you Monty and all the crew and, of course, Nellie and Patti," while another added: "Yay! Hope you stayed hydrated. Glad to hear, I've been missing you and the whole @GWandShows team."

A third commented: "Can't wait to see you back at Long Meadow though!"
The exciting announcement comes just weeks after Monty delighted fans with the news that his grandson, George, takes after him in his love of gardening.
Chatting about his grandchildren at Gardener's World Live, Monty said: "They're quite young. George is only three, but yes he does [enjoy gardening].

"He digs and - you might have seen this [on Gardeners' World] - in my potting shed there's a little child's spade hanging up and that is George's," he continued. "His father, who happens to be my son, has a veg garden and George helps him out there."
