She's a literal cardiac arryythmia survivorWith her expert gardening knowledge green is green is green. She’s probably drying the foxglove leaves on the radiator to make tea and wondering why she has palpitations!
I read this on the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious rythmSuper noodle sandwiches with dairylea triangles? Cabal I love you but I’m starting to see why some of you followed Jack for a fair while
Do you think she’s introducing the new book chapter by chapter. First the slop, then the household tips for reusing rubbish and now gardening.Right back at ya @ChocolateMuffin !
I want to paint my internal doors white, have the paint but not the motivation, you may have inspired me! First task today is fixing a drawer in kitchen that needs replacement sliders. Jack needs to count her blessings in her RENTED home, if something breaks, it's not her problem!!! (off topic, but why isn't there a 'standard size' for drawers, took me days to figure out what size sliders I needed?!)
I can't believe how hard Jack has gone done the botanist route in a couple of days. If she really cared she'd be showing how easy it is to grow herbs in pots and tomato plants in grow bags etc, all helping ease the food budget by growing your own, and also, yummy fresh flavours to cook with. Jack is the type of gal who gets yellow sticker salad bags to dry up into green dust for flavouring. Or how plants help mental health. But nope, it's all the Jack Show, and all I see is a blooming twat!!!
Shocking sales figures but I wouldn’t expect them to be high, Jack is only really known on Twitter and if you did come across one of her (terrible) tv appearances it certainly wouldn’t inspire you to buy her book, whenever I see Nigella or Jamie they’re usually cooking a lovely recipe from one of their books, which they’ve obviously spent love and care creating... poles apartWho was it yesterday who was asking about her book sales? I have a very trustworthy source in the publishing world who sent me this overnight:

But that's exactly what Jack does. She doesn't just take up a new hobby, she goes straight for the money. I reckon this (rented) garden and houseplant project, and tagging the RHS and Monty Don et al is just angling for some grow-your-own/urban farm gigs at the Chelsea Flower Show or somesuch (even though it's old hat trend-wise).Good job @Veronicaaa! I'm not surprised - her first book sold very well, but it's been downhill since there...
With the gardening thing...it's mad because I think most normal people ease into a new interest, right? When I started yoga, I didn't run out and buy a premium mat and loads of new clothes and Namaste wall hangings. Same with my other hobbies - I never want to spend much until I can see if I'll actually enjoy them. She goes from hearing someone use the word plant in passing to turning the Shitty Bungalow into a jungle in 10 seconds flat.
Surely incapable brown!Jack's gardening name:. Probability Brown
Sorry Silver but that’s just not believable. Those nails are far too clean.
Personally I’m out. Don’t reckon I could take three Jack lives in the space of a week, plus no cooking = no laughing
Is it pay to view?
Yay! A load of words sounding almost intelligent about an issue no one will then solve. Good work
NoHappy birthday eve to @Orphan_Black !
I was thinking today's subject could be mothers' maiden names, with a round up of PINs tomorrow.
We’ve got a WhatsApp group babes. XSorry for my boring mod message. Feel free to grumble about me in private
As expectedWe’ve got a WhatsApp group babes. X
I remember her saying somewhere on social media that either this book or tin can cook had come out with 'a whimper rather than a bang' because of the pandemic. This does not hold (obv) as you would have thought people stuck in their houses would be looking for something to do and hovering over the Amazon 'buy it now' button.Who was it yesterday who was asking about her book sales?

Gardener Jack reminds me of her interactions with Adam Frost on DKL where she kept asking stupid questions like ‘have you ever grown beans’ and then told him he was ‘really getting the hang of this presenting lark’. Would tell her not to quit the day job but she doesn’t really have a day job.But that's exactly what Jack does. She doesn't just take up a new hobby, she goes straight for the money.

Wonder how many copies of Nigellas book sold given it was released well into the pandemic!I remember her saying somewhere on social media that either this book or tin can cook had come out with 'a whimper rather than a bang' because of the pandemic.
