Its the Chelsea Flower show next week I believe, are you going ?

[GraciesGran]

No, too crowded for me.  Will watch from the armchair.

don't forget to get that bottle of Pimms Gran so  your really in Chelsea mood  not forgetting  the slice of lemon and the ice cube 

[GraciesGran]

Prefer prosecco or sauvignon blanc, will definitely have a glass of something to enjoy while I watch the TV

I'm so frustrated with bbc showing at Chelsea. There are 3 programmes a day for a week. But once you've seen one hour prof that's it. You've seen it. It's a daily rehash of the same 8 or 10 blooming gardens. Where are the small 3 metre gardens. The artisan rustic ones. It's boring.

[GraciesGran]

RubyRed, I thought it was me finding it boring.  In the past I've loved watching it but this year it seems to have lost its magic and sparkle.

does  Chelsea need the chop there's just so many presenters falling over themselves to present us with the same boring thing over and over again who's paying for all these people I ask myself well its the good old licence payer of cause   

[Growster...]

Will there be any more 'gardens' with motorway bollards, graffiti and flashing lights?

I need a reason to ignore the BBC again...

Had a quick view, then returned to the real world task of keeping ahead of the botrytis trying to destroy the last of my toms and cukes in the GH!

Chelsea more interesting when staged in May, but you'd have to pay me to actually visit in person - still scarred by a visit to Tatton Park a few years ago (nearly froze and drowned!)

[GraciesGran]

Was totally underwhelmed by the whole thing.  Perhaps next year will be better.
