Nikki Chapman 'eye candy'!!?? I thought the term referred to young, attractive persons
At the risk of going off-topic, I smiled at last Friday's GW when Sophie Raworth was in her mother's garden. Sophie reeled off a few plant names and her mother responded along the lines of "You're improving then. You can name a few plants now" Just about sums things up doesn't it.
I have to find I am finding Its actually watchable this year (probably because theres no Alan T) .. Though the afternoon sections are pretty dire. However its nice to record and fast forward through.
As usual though the BBC seem to have gone over the top with coverage so that much of it is repetitive - also spoils it a little if your going..
We're actually going on Friday and have re entry for the sell off so hoping to pick some nice things up if the price is right - though i have to say the last time I was there the sell off prices on what I would call everyday specimens were hardly value for money. Best bets are larger items .
re the Nikki Chapman "eye candy" comment - at the risk of sounding sexist "should have gone to specsavers"
I think Monty is doing a good job, but he looks a bit tired. Prefer him at Chelsea to GW. Alan T has been on TV showing his own show garden, liked him too. I like Nikki Chapman, she's human, sympathetic and funny and quite attractive. Why do women presenters have to be "eye candy" ? She's a TV presenter, you don't need big gardening knowledge to present Chelsea and there is a mixture of presenters anyway, some of whom are gardening experts.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
...he's a good presenter no doubt.. I did enjoy the British Gardens in Time series on BBC 4 recently, with historian Andrea Wulf - she was excellent too I thought.. and the other male presenter - Alan Power [Head Gardener at NT Stourhead]...
..now, Mr Power is more what I'm talking about I think...lol...

What about Chris Beardshaw Salino? He's eye candy enough for me and he has very green fingers, enough said
Cultiv8, I agree. Bearshaw is quite the eye candy...
If you like Chris Beardshaw he's on Beechgrove Garden most weeks on BBC 2 Scotland
