The Chelsea Flower Show Seems A Bit Subdued And Dignified.

Well, maybe not.

The feud began in 2006, when Sturgeon designed a garden featuring a capsule-shaped pavilion and a naked woman holding a watering can.

While most green-fingered spectators found the naked woman the more controversial of the features, Gavin took exception to the pavilion, accusing Sturgeon of plagiarising an old design. The pair resolved their dispute out of court.

The star of television shows such as Gardeners’ World, Home Front and Diarmuid’s Big Adventure, Gavin has earned something of a reputation as the enfant terrible of gardening.

At Chelsea in 2004, he had a highly public row about the size of a wall with his neighbour on the site, Bunny Guinness, Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time panellist and The Sunday Telegraph’s gardening columnist.

When Guinness conducted a radio interview with him, the insults flew, with Gavin accusing her of “snobbery, elitism and rudeness”, while she called him “a nasty piece of work”. In the same year, the show organisers complained that Gavin’s “scatterbrain approach” to Chelsea had been “a complete nightmare”.

Earlier this month, he described the atmosphere at Chelsea as “vicious”. He was unavailable on Saturday night.

If You Need To Find A Use For Old Subway Cars

Try dumping them in the ocean.

Officials hope the new Maryland reef will become home to such inshore species as black sea bass, tautog and summer flounder. These in turn should attract game like marlin, tuna and dolphin and the recreational fishermen, who contribute about $1 billion a year to Maryland’s economy.

Martin Gary, a fisheries biologist with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, said some of the targeted species have been depleted by overfishing. He promised that officials will take steps to prevent that from happening again around the new reef by imposing rules on the size and number of fish that can be caught, and the seasons when they can be taken.

Gary said the new reef, at a favorite local fishing ground called Jackspot, is deeper and farther from the shore than other subway-car reefs, and will hopefully attract inshore fish and the deep-water migratory species that feed on them.

If You Post A Classified Ad For A Car

Try to do better than this guy.

I have an extra engine with 50,000 miles on it I will sell for $300 if u take the car $500 without the car I gave $900 for it. The car needs some paint on doghouse. It has very low mileage and would go 200,000 if fixed more. I got the car to take my cheater wife on trips, but her last trip was with another man so I just drive my new dodge truck & have no need for any car.

If You Love Being A Carnivore

This guy has your back.

The New Orleans native’s book is laugh-out-loud funny. But it’s also quite thoughtful.

“I have a lot of vegetarian friends; my older brother is a vegetarian, and I talk about this a lot,” Gold said by phone from his Brooklyn home. “I tried very hard, because I knew coming into this that talking about your love of meat is going to make certain people angry. I wanted to be as rigorous as I could, to take this seriously.

“I go out of my way to say, “If you want to be a vegetarian, fine, but I don’t care for proselytizing or people telling me that my decisions about my diet are ethically inferior.’ I’ll go to the mat on that one.”

If someone’s going to talk a good game about being a shameless carnivore, Gold said, “you’ve got to test yourself in various ways.”

For him, the biggest test came at a small family farm a couple hours outside New York City, where he helped a young family butcher their cow.

“It was a pretty deep and thought-provoking experience, going from meeting the animal and patting him on the head to driving back to the city with a cooler of beef and ribs and ground beef,” Gold said. “It was probably the single most poignant experience I’ve had in the food world, and in my life, knowing the name of your steak.”
