Okay, so I can't wait for that Australian hunk, Jamie Dury, to rip off his shirt on The Victory Garden! LOL! But, this program has REALLY gone down hill, recently, despite the obvious eye-candy. *drool*
Now, I remember watching it during the weekends off from school with my Great Aunt Liz. Because my stepmom couldn't stand us being around her on the weekends while my Dad was at work she passed me and my brother off to Aunt Liz...and I didn't know about until after Liz passed, when Mom told me; though, I don't know why she couldn't stand us, because me and Jared were as quiet-as-quiet could be, yet we could apparently never be quiet enough. Sheesh, the woman slept till past noon everyday! We wouldn't even go upstairs--and even hated having to go to our own bathroom--for fear of creeking doors and waking her up. So, we stayed in our rooms, sometimes quite hungry, until she finally got out of bed to phone in dinner by throwing bologny onto a table with some bread and butter (she always looked like she was in a horrible mood when we finally poked our heads upstars). To this day I cannot stand to eat bologny, or even Hamburger Helper! But, I digress...
When me and Aunt Liz would watch The Victory garden, it was hostd by an older gentleman, and in it there were frequent recipes using herbs, and one was instructed HOW to grow herbs and plants, etc. In fact, the so-called "Victory Garden" was an actual garden CALLED "The Victory Garden" located in Maine! NOW, it's far different: they just examine other peoples gardens and show other plants, perhaps by offerings ideas, suggestions and inspiration. What the...??? Anyone miss the older formats of TVG (if you ever watched it)? Personally, as an Herbalist, I would *love* to see a series from this program going to gardens of herbalists, and even interviewing them, and showing one how to make medicines with herbs, and even more recipes, and how to grow herbs, etc.! Mom even commented, recently, that she liked it better when it had that ever-so-slightly rounded gay dude as the host.
