Young gardener of the year

The above is a message from BBC THREE

If any of you young peeps are interested the closing date for applications is 5th August 2011

 

Alas to ancient to be called young anything! Would that these opportunities had been around when I was a sprog. Sigh

Sorry Whis4ey, Dash it I am just outside that age bracket :WINK1:.(next liar take the stand).:D.

 

Im so going to apply for this.

Quick- help me come up with a tragic back story.

 

BBC Three is a waste of tax payers money. Even though I am in the age bracket I won't be applying. Gardening being competitive is just daft.

 

Back story

After been orphaned at an early age, you were adopted by wicked parents
If you did not grow your own you did not eat simple as that

You found a RHS Enclyclopedia in a Barnardo's skip, along with a rusty seaside bucket and spade
Your wicked Adoptive parents lied and kept all the produce, so you had to watch the BBC NIGHT GARDEN
Igglepiggle whee ooo collected rocks and you made a magnificent rock garden, selling the products on at the BBC antiques road shows

After many years of toil, you had saved enough not only to buy expensive Icecreams but Princes Eugines wedding hat off ebay for £82k

Jack please note, my rapturous applause does not entitle you to a share of any future winnings!

And Im letting you know in advance that any similarity between your tragic tale here and the one I'll tell on screen will be purely co-incidental! :D

 

I realise I am always the bridesmaid never the bride
So you go for it
I am sure once you win Gold at the Chelsea flower show you will throw me a £12.50 holiday irrigation kit as you pass buy in your 4x4 hummer

I am humbled

Well Jane .. it takes all sorts
Without those who love competition we would have no Chelsea, Tatton Park, etc and life would become boring
And surely, BBC3 adds a little more variety to life?

 

If it encourages a few more young gardeners I'm all for it
