HOEING : Method of killing seedlings whilst redistributing
stones.
COMPOST : The only thing which grows.
ALLOTMENT : But little acheived.
BROAD BEAN : Vegetable grown as food for blackfly.
ANNUAL : An unwanted plant which persists in reseeding
itself year after year.
PRUNING : Method of killing plants.
PERENNIAL : Should appear each year but doesn't.
ROCKERY : Heap of rubble left behind by builders.
DIGGING : Wife's nagging about garden.
WEED : Main garden crop.
ROOTS : That part of a weed which, if left in the ground, results in continued growth
OR : That part of a plant which, if a tiny proportion is accidentally removed from the ground, or damaged in any way, results in death!!
This was printed by a volunteer at the Amberley Workshop Museum!!
P.S.
Didn't put this in 'Fun and Games' 'cause it has more than a ring of truth in it.
