Light-hearted Gardening

I ran across a couple jokes, new to me, maybe old to you. They gave me a laugh.

…. a priest stops to watch a gardener tending her garden and says, “what a beautiful job you and God are making of that garden” and the gardener replies, “yes, but you should have seen the mess it was when God had it on his own!”

I have a rock garden. Last week three of them died.

Old gardeners never die they just vegetate.

I’m a gardener and I’m OK
I sleep all night and I plant all day!
I dress in grubby clothing, and hang around with slugs.
Oh I’m happy in the garden
With dirt and plants and bugs . . .
(to the tune of Monty Python’s “I’m a Lumberjack”)

an old one, but it still makes me smile:

If there was a big gardening convention, and you got up and gave a speech in favor of fast-motion gardening, I bet you would get booed right off the stage.
They’re just not ready.

~~~~~~~oh no, there’s more~~~~~~~

I used to impale the heads of door-to-door sales people on pikes in the garden as a warning to others … until I learned that it’s bad Feng Shui.
