Chelsea 2011

 Watching this evening, it looks like a good show, but Oh dear! where
did they find Christine Walkden?

Hey! She's wonderful: gardening needs that un-telly-like genuineness.

But on that sort of tack, I'm pretty sure somebody told us last year,
but I've forgotten: who in ruination is Nicky Chapman?

What was the name of the curly allium? And why "artisans' gardens"?
Does the RHS think we still use the word "artisan" except when
speaking of French bakeries? Or are they trying to avoid saying "poor
peoples' gardens", on the grounds that it would be rude?

  Don't you remember her TV program some years ago?   I liked them very
much; real gardening.

  Where did Rachel de Thame find that terrible red and white coat and why
did nobody make her take it off and stop upstaging the gardens

We like Christine, both in person and on telly.  What you see is
exactly who she is, not gussied up, or 'presenting her best side Mr
Goldwyn' etc.   I'd like to see more people like her, aware of the
plants rather than themselves.

A friend of mine who ran a gardening club had Christine as a speaker,
and put her up for the night.  I'm told she was naturally friendly
and just as she appears. Id rather see her enthusiasm than that Nicky
Chapman who doesn't seem to be a gardener.......
