Eric of www.gardenfork.tv fame is here to teach us about growing carrots but, as usual, it’s a bit of a cookie affair involving two labradors, a frisbee and the Invisible Witch of the Woods who I would REALLY love to see one day. Eric does not claim to be any kind of carrot farmer or even carrot gardener. In fact, he makes it clear that, in his view, planting carrots is not a financially sensible thing to do. They cost $.99 a bunch down at the store and $4 a packet of seeds. Why would you go through all the labor and difficulty just to feed carrots to a horse? Don’t know.
Eric is some kind of stoked gardener. He actually gives very detailed lessons about THINGS HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT and yet it can be more-ish viewing. One finds oneself wondering: is he stoked? is he tired? is he hungover? is he trying to be funny? is he really funny? what is he doing? Don’t go here to learn anything at all about carrot growing. But do go to spend a bit of time with a weird couple, their dogs, a dog toy, a lake and a reading from Monty Don, a writer who really does know about carrots and a lot else besides.
