Where are our questions and answers? Is everyone out in the garden? I can
report from our part of the world, there is still two feet of snow and low
temperatures. So here is a film schedule on the movie "Greenfingers."
This was discussed on our list in the past year. I don't remember if anyone
saw the picture and sent a message. It is a British comedy on gardens. Some
prisoners become quite accomplished gardeners and end up with a place a the
Hampton Court Palace Garden Show. This would be the largest show in the
world and much of it is shown in this film. I was there a few years ago, the
film likeness is not enhanced. Exactly as you would see it if you were on
the grounds. It is held in July.
As it appeared here for about one week in a local art theatre never to be
seen again. I missed it. Now it is on cable TV. Anyone else that missed
"Greenfingers" can find it scheduled three times in the next two weeks:

The cable channel is Encore True which is part of the Starz package. I have
satellite services and this a free channel on satellite. If the link does
not work for you, it is scheduled Mar 14 twice and Mar 25. Or, Starz has a
website with all of their films and the schedules.
If you are looking for something else on TV, Michael Pollan is lecturing on
his book "The Botany of Desire". This is on UCTV also found on a website
with schedules. He is a good speaker, he has been in our local library as
he lives in Connecticut. From Mr. Pollan I found that Carrie Nation was not
chopping up local pubs with her ax, she was chopping down apple trees. All
these years and the wrong idea! The apples were the source of the common
American's spirits, hard cider. Prior to the grape immigration, hard cider
was the easiest intoxicant found, hence chopping down apple trees. One would
think that heading for the pub with an ax was not the work of a nineteenth
century lady and so it was not.
