Gardeners' World presenter Adam Frost admitted feeling 'uncomfortable' after hearing a woman confess to threatening her plants to make them grow. The admission came during an appearance on BBC's Morning Live on Friday, January 16, where Frost discussed winter plant maintenance.
During the segment, a video clip showed a woman saying: 'I talk to them. I sort of threaten them, "You've got to grow." Don't be too nice to them.' Host Gethin Jones remarked: 'I'm not sure we've ever heard threaten your plants as advice.'
The woman later elaborated: 'I like the challenge I think. Can I make them grow? Some of them are difficult. You want to strangle them because they are not growing nicely.' Back in the studio, Frost covered his face with his hands and joked: 'I found that lady quite scary!'
Frost, whose BBC programme recently moved audiences to tears, appeared on the show alongside hosts Gethin Jones and Michelle Ackerley. The segment also included a reporter canvassing public opinion on plant care methods.
