WatchedĀ 5 minutes of Garden Rescue before I turned off in disgustĀ Bone dry large acer plonked in a bone dry hole. I supposeĀ a bit of water and mud might have messedĀ up the very white looking hard landscaping. These programmes make people think they can do up their garden or their house in a couple of days, whatever the problem. Tell that to the people whose homes have been devastatedĀ by floods. They never really go back. Do they? Now that would be some genuineĀ public service broadcastingš”
The times l have watched Garden Rescue and winced at the way things are planted. I said to OH that l would love for them to go back and see what the gardens looked like now. How many people waved off Charlie Dimmock, the Rich Brothers and co, and thought that was it.Ā Were they left with instructions on how to care for it all ?
I donāt watch any of those programmes now ... havenāt done for a few years ... theyāre not about gardening ... itās more like set design or window dressing. Grrrr!
Im fond of Charlie thoā ... sheās had a tough time ... I wish she could find a programme to suit her undoubted talents.Ā
Gardening in Central NorfolkĀ on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Do you remember the one where ll-b spray painted the hessianĀ back of an old rug that he found in the garage? That one didn't go down well either! Now they just paint everything beige so that people can live in a beige house in case they want to sell it sometime.Ā
I resuscitate any stale cake, scones, buns or bread by crumbing them, adding plenty ofĀ dried fruit, apricots etc, sugar taste, beaten eggs with milk/single cream, plenty of cinnamon, nutmeg or spice of choice, grated orange or lemon rind, what ever you have to hand and a couple of tablespoons of rib sticking suet or butter. Leave to soak overnight, sprinkle the top with crunchy nuts or demerra sugar and bake in a medium oven. Serve with luscious Clotted Cornish cream. It probably originated as a way impoverished mothers used up stale leftovers instead of throwing them away. Like the permanent stock pot on the fire. Yum.

That's why we men will simply shrug of the Corona Virus.Ā It obviously can't be anything like as bad a Man Flu.
