A gardener’s schedule.
Monday wash away the aphids with kitchen soap and water. Weed.
Tuesday send the little boys out with buckets to gather snails. Weed.
Wednesday spray for mildew and apply chicken manure. Weed.
Thursday apply rose, citrus and tomato food. Weed.
Friday spray red spider and thrip with Bordeaux. Weed.
Saturday apply bone meal and pick off rusty leaves. Weed.
Sunday you will probably stay in bed. Anoint yourself with a homemade honey and peppermint lotion, yogurt and egg conditioner, lemon balm for insect bites, or go to Sienna Day Spa and let Sally truly pamper you.
The children want to set up a target at the bottom of the garden and throw balls at the green nectarines and they want to teach the dogs to fetch in the vegetable garden and they want to pick a bouquet of your prized ranunculus.
“Never mind,” Says your Mother. “They can take their bows and arrows and play Robin Hood in the wildwoods in July with their grandfather.”
