Gardening: A Great Hobby With Thorns!

Gardening is a lot like life. We struggle and have fun, but reality sometimes bites.


Poem Artwork

Gardening is a great hobby if you love being out in the sun!

But in the summer, those bugs can eat you alive and that’s no fun!

 

Our plants and flowers are abundant and beautiful to see.

But cactus thorns and allergic reactions can get the best of me!

 

So, I spray Deep Woods on, I wear a big hat and I go out to play.

I snip and trim some plants here and there at the break of day.

 

The weeds must be pulled from roots or they will grow right back!

Fungus must be treated fast or every bush and tree will be attacked!

 

So, I’ll get started in the morning or right after the rain clouds pass.  

Gardening can fun but those plants and shrubs grow mighty fast!

SOUNDS WONDERFUL! GARDENING IS A GOOD REMINDER...THE 'FLOWERS' HAVE THORNS AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS WHICH CREEP UP AND CAN PREVENT THEM FROM GROWING, SO, THEY CAN'T BE KEPT BEAUTIFUL ON THEIR OWN. WITHOUT THE CARING 'GARDNER' THEY WILL PERISH. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I must've been a fool to go without Coppertone and Deep Woods, and all those other concoctions guaranteed to make us feel better out-of-doors and in the sun.

These days I allow myself a few minutes in the sun every day. I also treated plants the same way, not coddling them or overfeeding. Just making sure that they had enough water and natural food.

When it comes to flowers and vegetables, they can't go fast enough for me.

My thumb is brown,
nothing I plant will grow.
Weeds are the only things,
that I have to show.

Gardening doesn't seem to be so much fun. After the bugs, the sun, weeds, and allergic reactions, what's left? We need a part 2 to show the fun.
