I used to be a fan of the Gardening Monkey and what I thought was a different approach to garden blogging. humorous, witty and a little oddball but hey, that kind of reflected my personality a little so that was cool.
But, and there is always a but! - I waited for that explosion of prophetic gardening advice and little tit bits that would really help us all out; yet nothing came!
There is no doubt that the author can jumble up the alphabet in a way that most of us mere mortals cannot even begin and sometimes there is a hint of comic humour coming through, but, and there is always another 'but' gardening definitely seems to be off the agenda!
That has led me to believe that the author is not a gardener at all and we are soon to find out, just like the Sex Pistols great rock and roll swindle, that GM is actually a political editor and a Liberal Democrat to boot.
The Garden Monkey blog is just a vehicle to get traffic on a popular topic before changing the URL to www.liberaldemocrats.com and unleashing the next manifesto to an unsuspecting audience.
The suspense is no longer killing me but it filled a hole for a while. If The Garden Monkey wanted to give us some hints on how to make a Calcifuge thrive on chalk of perhaps how to eliminate Mealy bug from the greenhouse I am all ears.
I totally agree. There seem to be so many 'in-jokes' on that blog that make it virtually inaccessible for anyone reading it for the first time. It's far too cliquey for me - I'd much rather be a regular visitor to Landscape Juice!
