Am I alone in thinking that gardening, at least judging from Chelsea
this year, is following food in being treated as something that should
have an arty touch? Food has become so dressed up that I can't tell
what I'm supposed to be eating and what is just decoration. I much
prefer my meals to be like meat-and-two-veg as they used to be. Quite
what the equivalent is in gardening I'm not sure, but I'm not against a
few weeds occasionally: dandelions and daisies are quite pretty plants,
after all!

I expect that Yes I am alone, here at any rate!

I'd say there's a more naturalistic approach to both gardening and
flower arranging now, so perhaps that's reflected in food too,
especially when edible flowers are added.
