was Re: aging gardeners, Now - silly garden story

Ok Gang,
its is a snowy day here in NH




Find some young man in your area and plan a day for him. Pay him
enough to be happy to come and have him cut, prune, drag off brush,
move rocks, mix soils, unload the car of heavy bags of peat and
other things.


And it helps if he's attractive and tan . . . . giggle.




this reminds me of one of my favorite daylily stories....



imagine a cold February day, wind chills in the single digits, sleet,
freezing rain. I had slogged in to work with the drive taking an
extra 40 minutes, or double the normal time, to find my meeting
cancelled and the computers down... Can't even work and anything......



I call a Florida hybridizer to place an order (all in an effort to
warm up and cheer up).... After asking about known winter hardiness
and other chitchat, the hybridizer asks how the weather is up
there.....

I whine about it a little and ask the same..........

H: "Oh about 90, I'm sitting inside in the air conditioning looking
at the view."

Me: "What view, extra early bloom?"

H:" no, the young men who work here, they have taken off their shirts
and are working in just boots and cut offs. giggle"



I giggled too, said good bye and dug for something to do....

and felt even colder....
