A blast of Black Sabbath makes plants bloom, says radio gardener


Recommended Posts

And all these years I've been playing the plants Delius and Debussy!

I must try some Albert Ayler in the greenhouse.

I find all celebrity / TV gardeners to be insufferable. The exception, bizarrely, is Titchmarsh, given that he's essentially a parody of himself.

They can be terribly precious. They go into raptures over a potato seedling as if it's...well...Schnabel!

The only one I watch irregularly is Gardeners' World. The woman on there who looks like she might have been a punk 30 years ago drives me nuts. I throw things at the TV. Old plastic plant pots, withered weeds etc.

I agree - it's so terribly upper middle class (or whatever the new classification is - elite?)
