[Jan Flora]

Did he mention money?

I'd go over for a try out for just expenses....I need a vacation and I don't see another one until the kids are out of college. C

[rachael simpson]

snip

va...-ca...-tion.... vacation? i don't know that word...what's that?!?

lol, rae

[Cheryl Isaak]

A break from responsibilities - something we parents don't get from the moment of conception 'til they have their own family.

[rachael simpson]

oh great! i've got a long time to look forward to one then...lol rae the mother of a 2yr old & 6 month old

[Charlie]

Hah......you just keep telling yourself that! ;-)

[Amos Nomore]

I have no experience but I would be willing to garden in women's clothing if you can guarantee that it will make me a *star*.

Amos going on Amy

[Charlie]

We'll be expecting pictures in abpg, thank you.

[Amos Nomore]

I am passionate about passionate. Once the cabbage is deposited to my accounts in the Caymans, TV gardening will never be the same.

[Cheryl Isaak]

Be still my beating heart..... Since my ISP doesn't support binary groups, make sure you post those shots to a website. ;) Are we reading the next Charlie Dimmock? C

[Amos Nomore]

Let's not let our hopes get away from us.

[rachael simpson]

Oh goody! maybe they will do co-hosts, so that way we can see Charlie in his garden get up that billy teased him about in the past......

lol!

[Amos Nomore]

With this degree of brainstorming and talent, us Yanks'll surely beat 'em to the punch.

This production needs a name. I don't think "Gardening is a Drag" will fly. Suggestions?

[Amos Nomore]

Victor Victoria's Victory Garden? Nah. Crockett would freak.

The message from Amos Nomore contains these words:

Sorry to dash your hopes, Amy, but you're a decade too late.

Here in the UK we've already had our fill of TV garden presenters who cultivate sexual ambiguity. There was the two-pronged appeal of butch and braless beerswilling one-of-the-guys-gal Charlie Dimmock. Plus her side-kick Tommy the handyman, 6ft of scowling muscle in tiny tight white shorts and bondage-strap webbing tool belt. Bob Flowerdew with a waist-length blond hair plait, who talks a great deal about rubber, and doubleskin polytunnels . Camp, limp-wristed, flowing silk-shirt Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen, a sultry pouter with bigger hair than Joan Collins and only slightly less mascara..and his sidekick bit of rough, Diarmuid Gavin. (All of them in longterm hetero partnerships IRL).

Janet.

I miss Ground Force with Alan Titchmarsh, it just worked all the way around. But I do regularly import Titchmarsh's novels; I adore them. Never really enjoyed just Charlie and Tommy - some of the charm went away. Still did A+ gardens.

Who did the gardens with all the concrete and steel...used to make me crazy. A friend called them the Goth gardener - he struck me as very dark.

Haven't seen the others on BBCAmerica, but have seen LLB on decorating shows. No thanks. BTW, don't give a rats a** about their private lives.

[Cheryl Isaak]

As I have since read the Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen is also a TV gardener, I'd rather have another Charlie.... C

[jangchub]

Is grammar something which went extinct with the other tens of thousands of extinctions?

Does it count that my garden was ON television?
