Fuchsia "Star Wars"

May 4th be with you :o)

Lol, Tt! I kept thinking, "May the (Ground) Force be with You" after the TV programmes> :-)

May Charlie Dimmock be with you.. Lol.

I wish..............LOL!

thats gorgeous, much better looking than Ms Dimmock lol

Eileen.... may Tommy Walsh be with you... Lol.

lol TT

I'd rather have Alan Titchmarsh...he's improved with age!

So glad you chose him, Pottyg

He definitely is the most qualified among loads of gardening TV presenters. I have raised my eyebrows often when reading remarks on him by GOYers, but, Carol Klein apart, I know of no-one else with the real-life gardening apprenticeship/experience. Have chatted with both at Chelsea as a member of JoePublic - fabulous people! :-)

Yes, I like him for his gardening knowledge too David! :-))

Seriously, I find his enthusiasm catching and the way he talks and explains how to do things understandable.

I totally agree, Pg. We are all at different levels of gardening experience, and he shows us how to do things so well!

The ultimate garden expert would, I think, be as hard to find as the ultimate completed garden - there are no such entities. Our own gardens, and the famous ones we visit, are but snapshots in time. Recreated grand gardens are planted up based on plans from a given era/year, but they would not always have looked like this.

I welcome any media help with my own progress down life's garden path, and I do welcome Alan's!
