Friday Wisdom — Gardening

Posted on 04/12/2024 by Andrew Reynolds

Well, it’s gardening week here so here’s everything I know about gardening:

Give a weed and inch and it will take a yard.

Weeds: Plants growing where you don’t want them.

I went to the store for new socks – I got garden hose.

Why are tomatoes red? They saw the salad dressing.

A tree’s favorite drink is root beer.

I was at the garden center and was asking about edible herbs. They gave me some sage advice.

I was standing in the garden this morning wondering where the sun had gone. Then it dawned on me.

My neighbour said he was going to dig a hole and fill it with water. I think he meant well.

What happens when you cross a four-leaf clover with poison ivy? you get a rash of good luck.

What’s brown, tall and runs around a garden? A fence.

I bought some herbs for the garden — it’s summer thyme!

I’m writing a story about guy who has a small garden — it’s not much of plot.

Grass is very dangerous … it’s full of blades.

Last year we had problems with the veggie patch flooding. Turns out we had a leek.

    “…Weeds: plants growing where you don’t want them…”

    True. Someone told me that God keeps giving us free plants (some with flowers) that can grow anywhere, with little water, and no fertilizer. And then….we promptly call those plants “weeds” and pull them out the ground. Guess we aren’t too smart?😯😇

    Wow, I can’t pick a favorite, but the one about giving a weed an inch is tragically true. Thank you for the laughs, Andrew!

    I had a different answer for “What’s brown, tall and runs around a garden? “
