GI's decision to call this series Gardening Heroines is certainly over the top. It's insulting and I think denigrates their accomplishments. It would be fun to cast someone into outer darkness, I agree. I'll have to think on that.
Ummmm,the Garden Saints...don't you get tired of all this adulatory stuff?
ReplyDeleteWho should we cast out into the outer darkness as the Garden Devils?

ReplyDeleteI love podcasts. I find I have to listen to them several times to catch everything, especially the British ones ... place names, etc.
