My gardening jumper has a hole. I was attacked by roses when watering them - still in their pots waiting for new beds - and it proved mortal for a sleeve. I have holes in gardening trousers too. That's why they're gardening clothes.

Back in the day, it was Jim McColl who was the new kid on the block and it was George who was the 'son of the soil'. It's quite funny now seeing Jim McColl in the role of fuddy-duddy and all the younger presenters trying to steal a march on him. I would like to see a much younger presenter joining the show, so we have a continuation. The actual gardeners at the Beechgrove are quite young - perhaps one of them could be given a slot..............

Ditto re holes in gardening clothes, Obelixx. I found Monty's wearing a holed jumper rather endearing... he's demonstrating gardening, not being a clothes horse.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Gardening holes are fine in sweaters.. but not for national TV. That and substantial hair root growth showing in women with dyed hair. Honey, you must make a billion dollars an hour, go to the salon and get those roots touched up. FYI: I don't judge normal women walking around at the grocery story by those same standards (because it's me every six weeks).. just those on national television. I also don't judge you for your holely wear Obelixx.. unless you're on national TV.
So real gardeners are not allowed to look like real people? Carol Klein got the RHS Victoria Medal recently, but she is just herself. She prefers her jeans and boots to anything else.
I can't imagine any of our UK presenters visiting a salon to present gardening shows. They know we all have our gardening jumpers. That's how we do it.
Hubby held up my 30 year old wax jacket and carried it towards me. " Don't even think about it!! Just don't say a word!! It's not going anywhere but back in the cupboard! I'm not throwing it away! I've had that jacket longer than I've had you ! do I make myself clear?" Not another word was spoken. Wise man.
