He's like my cooky Grandpa :) According to wikipedia he hosted The Victory Garden from the mid 80's to 2002. He always knew how to make gardening interesting and his accent was so charming. I can picture him now digging his hands through the soil, sniffing it to show appreciation for his much loved compost additive. I bet I get my love of mulch and soil from him. He gave a talk at the CT Garden Show in Hartford a bunch of years ago. I went to the show but I missed him. :( I hope this guy is still getting props for what an amazing inspiration he is. 
The new guy, Jamie Durie is from Australia and is said to have been a stripper, an equivalent to the American Chippendale dancers. Wow, has gardening gotten sexy? Maybe they are using sex to get people into gardening. It wouldn't surprise me but it's a little sad. Should I blindly trust PBS's integrity? I suppose it doesn't matter. (isn't that the apathy that is making this country turn to shit?) It's a good thing I'm not in politics. I get it now, he was on Oprah! Well, if Oprah says he legit.... LOL
