Pride or Is It Garden Porn?


A number of years back when Food Network was turning into a more prominent ogre of marketing and banality--Where have you gone Mario Batali?--there were few articles that compared the structure/plot lines, cinematography, and dialogue of cooking shows to porn flicks.

The authors who make these comparisons offer some entertaining points about cooking shows, but I also think gardening blogs (there are tons of them out there on the InterWeb) lurch toward close-ups of produce and flowers.

In contrast, I offer a wide shot of my nascent garden. After we got back home from Florida on Friday, I planted more rows of produce, and I think I'll try growing potatoes this year too.

Chalk it up to pride, I hope.
