Liked this programme as a bit quirky and old fashioned in its ways up In the challenging environment of Scotland.

So tonight we had a lovely segment on the Afghan community allotment project followed, and how they were growing food that they. Traditionally eat, some of which i had not heard of.

Then bugger me we have a segment on LGBTQ gardening???? Well Q actually.

They had nothing to offer in terms of gardening tips, or what they actually grew, just a bit of, well i dunno really, hello we are here, and gardening can be queer.

What has your dress sense, and identity have to do with gardening.

Did anyone else see it?

I missed it - but didn’t miss anything by the sounds of it.

What was the point of it, exactly?

the square root of fuck all.

Pride month innit?

No I didn't see it. But it's precisely this kind of thing that my friend, who is gay, absolutely hates. He's a bloke who likes gardening. Happens to fancy blokes. And finds this kind of thing so othering.

Gardeners World featured a trans woman in June 2022. I emailed the BBC but got no reply.
The man was filmed at his allotment but had no gardening tips or information, & didn’t even show us his vegetables - he was simply given a platform to waft around in a frock saying look at me.

yes. What I learned from that is that queer people can be gardeners too. Everyday is a school day.
