@ValuSkr Q2 had a 2 hour Cottage Farms program on the other day.
I missed the first hour but there were two reps for CF for that particular show.
A woman and a guy. Kelly was the guy but I didn't catch the woman's name.
Both were knowledgeable and friendly. It will take a little time getting used to
the new CF vendors because a good part of the past shows were because of Philip Watson. His personality, humor and horticultural knowledge provided much entertainment. CF shows just won't be the same without Philip.

@Lyttlewyng I watched part of the Cottage Fsrm show and feel it will take time getting use to the new vendors, I'm trying not to compare them to Philip Watson, but it's hard. I liked both of them, and they both knew their plants.

Without Philip Watson its going to be a snoozefest. The new vendor is going to face a lot of critique because so many people enjoyed Philip. Its very sad that QVC let him go unceremoniously.

I recorded and watched the Cottage Farms premiere on QVC2 last week. Both reps were really great. Kelly is the "professional" and is a horticulturist and some director at a place in Idaho. The other rep was a woman with two little girls, who is a self-taught gardener. They took turns presenting items and were both very friendly and knew a lot. I ended up placing an order for an item, which I had never done before through QVC (for plants).

It will be hard to fill Philip's shoes, but the show must go on. They deserve a chance to show us their "stuff" too. It won't be the same kind of presentation we are used to with Philip, but I guess the point is to learn about different flowers and plants. I think these two will deliver that.

@Reever. Philip stated on his Facebook that he and QVC could not come to terms. I don't think they just dumped him. It sounded like negotiation problems.

@proudlyfromNJ Oh, I thought he made the choice to move on to do other projects, which he did say at one time, I believe, did not know about this. I won't be buying Cottage Farms any longer, only bought due to Philip.
