My garden made the local TV horiculturalist show. This guy's been on TV for years. I didn't even know he'd used my garden for the demo until a neighbor said she saw it while watching the news.

He wasn't "snooping." He did the whole segment from the sidewalk. My garden is very much a public place and I designed it that way. It's pretty neat having the area's best known garderner using my plants for his demonstration. He could have used a nursery stock specimen or any of the local master gardeners specimens. I've only been gardening for a few years so this is really a compliment.Quote:

My brother and his wife bought their house from a well known rose grower. The whole backyard and side yards were filled with roses. They did their best to keep things going, but apparently it was a lot of work, so after about 4 years, the allowed people to come over and take the roses away.
Very cool!
A year or so ago, the TV show "Unwrapped" on the Food Network used my younger brother on the show titled "Food jobs"(I think?). He works for Cap Candy, which is part of Hasbro, in their candy-toy devision. He spoke onscreen two or three times. Really weird to see your brother on a nationally televised program, but cool!
Congrats David - very cool ! My wife and I can barely keep anything alive on our property. Plus, I don't have much interest in it - I grew up on a small 50 acre farm and I got burned out as a kid gardening. When we moved into our current house it had a small garden in the back yard - the first thing I did was have a friend bring over his roto-tiller and I planted GRASS there so I had a larger back yard! ;)
