Wanted: Hairy Bikers for the garden

‘Kitchen porn’ I call it. All very nice to look at but not the sort of thing most of us do at home.  The stuff the Nigellas and the Hestons do might make us run out and buy their cookery books for more titivation; but I’ll bet not many of us do it in the privacy of our own homes.

But in amongst all of that unrealistic Crème brûlée is a nugget of realism.  As Ed Cumming pointed out in the Telegraph this week The Hairy Bikers are welcome back;
 

“Myers and King go into the homes of real people, to see the real food they really eat. It might not excite the Michelin inspectors, but that’s not what they’re trying to do. To watch their programme is to be reminded not only that it’s OK to eat shepherd’s pie and jam roly-poly, but that shepherd’s pie and jam roly-poly, cooked well, are delicious and perfectly healthy.”

 
So where is the programme which ‘doesn’t excite the RHS inspectors but is about the gardens of real people’?  When will someone stand up to the snobs and say, "it’s OK to have a ‘normal’ garden"? Where is the antidote to unrelenting ‘garden porn’?
 

Kitchens just feed your gut – gardens feed your soul.
