In this show, they were gardening as if they were a true Victorian estate garden. Apparently they couldn't run to the store and buy veggies...they could only eat what they grew. And the Lord of the manor didn't want old carrots and turnips for every meal, so they were willing to expend the energy (mostly human) to have fresh, appetizing foods year round. They said that there should be a melon available for the table every day of the year. What a life, huh?
