Adam Frost has declared that he “didn’t know” an incident that once forced him to make a public apology had even taken place. In a recent interview, Adam, a beloved fixture on BBC Gardeners’ World alongside such other horticultural favourites as Monty Don and Carol Klein, opened up about what was described as his “roster” of pets.
In addition to Isla the Labrador and Ash the cat, Adam has also welcomed a miniature Jack Russell named Buster to his family, which includes his wife, Sulina, and their four children, Abi-Jade, Jacob, Amber-Lily and Oakley.
Yet, it was an amusing incident involving this new addition that prompted Adam to issue his apology. When asked if he had any bad habits, he claimed “not massively” as he opened up about the incident in question.
Adam told The Times: “Not massively. I did make one public apology. I’m watering while doing a piece to camera when Buster decided to relieve himself behind me. I didn’t know it had happened.”

He continued: “You can imagine them sat in the edit room saying, ‘Shall we leave it in?’ Habit-wise Ash tends to lie on boxes of seedlings when the greenhouse is warm: you go in and half of them are flat in the shape of a cat.
“And Buster comes in with his bowl in his mouth and throws it on the floor. You go, ‘Hold on a minute, I’ve fed him once today’. Or the children text, ‘Have you fed the cat?’ Either way you can guarantee the cat will get a second dinner.”
In other news, Adam has also shared insights into his home life with another key member of his family, his wife Sulina, whom he refers to as Mrs Frost, saying “she’s a bit scary”.
Speaking to Yours magazine, Adam referred to the old phrase that “behind every successful man is a strong woman”, but it seems there’s a slight difference when it comes to Sulina.

He said: “They always say behind every successful man is a strong woman. She’s more than strong, she’s a bit scary.
“The kids say she’s a lioness. If you’re unpleasant to me or the children, you end up with the wrath of Mrs Frost. We don’t want to cross Mrs Frost.”
It seems this even extends to Adam’s domain, the garden, with the green-fingered presenter joking that you’d think Sulina would “leave him to it”, but it seems they have a difference of opinion when it comes to one particular aspect.
Adam reportedly likes “gardening for wildlife”, but his wife prefers their outdoor space to be much tidier. In one example, he noted that he’d found an evergreen he claims should be left alone, but Sulina had “trimmed it back”.
He added that, when it comes to their garden, Adam seems like the “most experienced understudy in the country”.
