City Farm

06 May 2009 20:37:06

I watched Richard Corrigan's City Farm again last night. Has anyone else been watching it?

While I admire that he is promoting the "Grow your own" culture I have to laugh because you get the impression that he woke up one day with the idea himself. And you'd think that no one was growing their own vegetables at all in this country the way he goes on.

I found his argument against battery hens as a viable and clean method of producing fresh clean food - namely "You can take that argument and flush it down the toilet with me" - was very cringe provoking. But its good to see some sort of "gardening" on the telly.

We had the SAME conversation last night. I do like that there is a gardening show on RTE at prime television time, but the message is questionable. I complained through the entire thing, but indeed I will be watching again next week. Have you mentioned it to non-gardeners? I wonder what their impression wold be.

Hmmm... I remember I saw a garden channel (smth like 'Weekend gardener') when I was in Lusk. My friend told me - 'Don't believe to everything they say' :))))
