Just found Ciscoe on NWCN ( Northwest Cable News). What a hoot, ooooooooh la
la! I'd enjoy that little fella even if I wasn't a gardener!
I think we should send him fan mail and ask him to drop by this NG from time
to time.

A Ciscoe fan,

Heavens preserve us!! Add to the fact that he is only a local feature, he is a
TV celebrity and merely a hobby gardener rather than a skilled horticulturist.
The holes in his knowledge are huge (he even calls at the nursery to get answers
for some of his viewer questions) and since he has trouble remembering plant
names, he makes them up. I can't count the number of times customers have come
in looking for some odd Ciscoe plant under some fictitious name and when we tell
them the correct name, they don't believe us, cuz "that's not what Ciscoe called
it". They take his word as gospel, even when incorrect. He IS entertaining, but
there are dozens of far more skilled contributors to this group already.
