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

A Lark Ascending Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited April 21, 2013 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah - but I've passed through the lounge when 'Sidewinder' has been playing on a gardening programme. And 'Back at the Chicken Shack' by JOS. Bet you'd get good plants with a selection of Prestige soul jazz material, particularly Gator Tail MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best steer clear of Cliff Richard as his music apparently kills alstroemerias. I know how they feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I was reading somewhere that Ozzy Osborne was going through a bad patch - drink, drugs, marital problems. Maybe he could start a new career as a Gardeners' World presenter. Just make sure he's driven home before the bats come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
