If You Give a Gardener a Flower

If you give a Gardener a flower, she’s going to need a shovel to go with it.

While looking for her favorite shovel, the Gardener walked right over the garden hose, and she remembered that she left the sprinkler on.

After moving the sprinkler, the Gardener saw the beautiful Heirloom Lilac that she re-rooted last year. Seeing the Heirloom Lilac, the Gardener thought about moving the Lilacs to make room for her new flower.

While digging up the Lilacs, the Gardener remembered the large rose bush that died in the drought. What a perfect time to move the dead rose bush and relocate the Lilacs!

While digging up the rose bush, the Gardener got a thorn in her finger.
While the Gardener tried to get the thorn out, she remembered the thorn she got after moving her lovely Martha Gonzales Antique Rose Bush.
The Gardener decided to dig up the Martha Gonzales rose to plant something, although she wasn’t quite sure what.

While digging up the Martha Gonzales Rose, the Gardener decided to move the entire bed of Ellen Bosenquat Crinum and Oxblood Lilies, which would naturally be the perfect spot for the beautiful Antique Rose Bush.

While digging up the Heirloom Bulbs, the Gardener accidentally dug into the heavy oil cloth that had been used for the pond that didn’t work out.
The Gardener stopped everything she was doing and started digging out the heavy oil cloth, in order to use the cloth to cover the compost to save moisture during the summer.

While digging out the oil cloth, the Gardener got tired and put her shovel down…right next to the pretty little flower that she was given to plant.
The Gardener reached down, picked up the flower and gave it a drink.

If you give a Gardener a flower, she’s going to need a shovel to go with it. 
So the Gardener picked up her shovel and walked through the garden, looking for the perfect spot to plant the flower. (True story….can you relate?!)

Happy Gardening, my friends!
