Has everyone seen the KG article on garlic by Steve Ott in today's Daily Telegraph Gardening? "An extract from Kitchen Garden Magazine" it says; that should boost the ratings. :D

It's on the website too for anyone who wants to copy and save the garlic growing info. :wink:

Steve does get about a bit, do you think that is his own hand or does he get a stunt man for the more difficult things. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

He does get out and about doesn't he. Does he wear Marigolds to help keep his pinkies in tip top photogenic condition? :twisted:
Lots of love

I see we've also had a mention in the Sunday Telegraph - Home section today. Alex Mitchel (BigPepperPlant?) in her column gives us a plug. Who is this 'bucolic bearded wise man, living in a garden shed ... who dispenses horticultural advice' around here?
Could it be Johnboy?

So pleased you saw the piece in the DT - that's my 10 minutes of fame come and gone, wouldn't want any of you to have missed it.
By the way - I do most of the stunts myself, although I do get Lady Lettuce to do the very dangerous stuff. However, I always insist on wearing the marigolds!
Have a great weekend on your plots.

"For all I know Johnboy may live in the suburbs and work in data inputting, but to me he is a bucolic, bearded wise man, living in a garden shed, taking the piece of straw out of his mouth only to dispense horticultural advice."

Well, will the real Johnboy please stand up.

I like the idea of Johnboy the IT whizz-kid :D
