    Currently revising for RHS exams, listening to Rage Against the Machine as I go. Learning latin plant names and raging against the institutional racism of the US military-industrial complex. What a combination!

    Could be dangerous come the exam:

    "Now, we'd like to prick out and pot up one tray of specimen x"
    "F*** YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!"


    What's everyone's favourite Gardening tunes? Anyone listen to anything more incongruous than the above when weeding their borders?!

    I suppose the Hothouse Flowers should get things going. How about 'Daisy' or 'You are My Honeysuckle', for the old'uns. Red Roses for a Blue Lady would help you keep your mind off the prickly bits. Green Green Grass of Home for all the Jones'ey fans in sunny Wales :)
    Even Bill and Ben sing about 'Little Weed'.

    An English Country Garden? (Although personally I prefer the paraody version!)

    Well, I've a choice of 260 instant "gardening tunes," as it's usually only when I'm gardening, that I play my jukeboxes.
    But the mention of gardening and a song, made me instantly think of this one.
