Can’t wait for the “Miracle Grow” commercial, you know the one, with the old codger out in the garden, pants to his breasts, sitting on a twelve foot tall cucumber……

But not everyone is happy about this new discovery. One woman shopping at a Wyvales in Dorking yesterday said: “It’s amazing. My husband has never shown any interest in gardening before, but now he’s out there night and day fussing over his heathers. Frankly, I preferred it when he left the garden to me and wasn’t so frisky.”

She’s from Dorking?
