An English gardening show makes me think of spring — and haiku
“GQT” — as its fans call it — is the perfect soundtrack for a morning dog walk, even if I will never do a single thing that’s suggested on the show. I just like listening to those accents and hearing the passion behind the questions and the knowledge behind the answers.Why are one lady’s edelweiss plants — bought to remind herself of a walking holiday in the Dolomites — all “looking quite dead?” I chuckle every time I hear the words “courgette” or “COM-pahst” .
There’s even an “Upstairs/Downstairs” element to it. A question about how to dispatch mites in an orangery might be followed by one on when to plant carrots in an allotment, what the English call a community garden.
