When did I miss the news release about them becoming the same programme ?

It make s a refreshing change from assuming that everyone still
communicates in Latin. Even the so called gardening experts cannot agree
what plants are called in a language that 99.999% of the British public
cannot understand.

The programme truly reflects the poor regard that the *professionals in
the gardening industry have for the general pubic.

Alan I have to agree with you on that one and it has 'annoyed' me for years
how they show off that they know the Latin name for even a common plant. A
Daisy is a Daisy

No it isn't. There are literally dozens of plants that get called
Daisy. Daisy means very little.

Please don't bother Mike with facts, Des. It gets him SO confused.



and everyone from a four year old knows what we are talking
about. Why chuck in a Latin name, except to show off?
