    Working class here, but most of my plants aren't on either list. According to that list the upper class people are in cloud cuckoo land - there's no such thing as a blue rose, they're shades of mauve/purple.
    @Lyn without even clicking I'd put money on that being the sketch with John Cleese and the Two Ronnies :D .

    Probably more towards upper than lower, but as above, a total mix! If I had my way I'd use yoghurt pots and plastic bottles for seeds lol.

    Plastic grass? So many places we looked at before our current house had this, horrid, horrid stuff, and the estate agents kept touting it as a benefit. Arrgh, rectangular gardens, plastic grass, plastic furniture, plastic 'summer house' no thanks!

    I have access to copious amounts of alpaca poo .... I've no idea what class that makes me.
    But Gardens Illustrated once had little packs of the stuff in very tasteful boxes for sale at eyewatering prices ... so I must be a toff!

    Given that Rosa Blue Moon was part of a four rose gardening offer with the Daily Mail and/or Radio Times back in the late 60s, which were planted in rows outside many a new-build bungalow back then .. including the one we moved to in 1972, I'm really not sure where it gets it's blue blooded credentials from 😭
