In a recent edition of a trade magazine Peter Seabrook has spoken out quite
strongly about TV gardeners and the poor advice they give at times. In
particular, he writes of one such suggesting that people plant tulips
bulb-to-bulb along a wall and then saying a while later that it's better to
space them to avoid tulip fire! He wonders whether these people ever
actually trial the advice they give. His rather depressing comment is that
the gap between real gardeners and garden presenting is now so great that he
doubts it can ever be bridged - sad thought for new gardeners particularly,
I think.
