So much to choose from in the papers at the weekend. In pathetic and plagiaristic tribute to the Indyblogs' Gutter Sniper, here's my round-up of the weekend's best gardening news:
- How to depress yourself in one easy step: Martha Stewart’s immaculate kitchen garden.
- The Heritage Lottery Fund finally sorts out money for Great Dixter.
- Polish plants are taking over Britain (a story surprisingly not reported by the Daily Mail).
- Pampas grass is back.
- English horticulturists confirm their reputation for innovation with underground grow chambers.
- How to get an allotment in Hong Kong.
- Your sister can actually annoy you into growing blueberries.
- James Alexander-Sinclair thinks flowering currant smells of cat pee.
Oh my word. I LOVE the Martha Stewart vegetable garden. At first I thought they must have a team of hundreds to keep that in shape, But did you see the massive dibber? (or dibble as they laughably call it). THAT'S how they do it!

The dibber is massive. Just the kind of thing I'd expect from a woman who keeps her black horses indoors all summer so they don't fade to brown.
