>>Whooo! Gardening is now a sport! So when I'm asked if I play sports
can I say YES now?
Hi Tara,
Why naturally it's a sport! It has prize money and sponsors and stuff
doesn't it? I mean really. You wouldn't walk through the Jackson &
Perkins crowd wearning your Burpee coveralls now would you? You could
get pruned for that!
It's understood that scoring can, of course, be problematic for the
uninitiated. Although I suppose it was quite clear even to any casual
observor just how roundly the dandelions trounced me! Oh, the humanity!
In betting, hmmmmm .... I suppose I would recommend *taking* the weeds.
They always seem to do well and the 'over/under' often seemed to sprout
against me.
... and of course the rabbits are always a concern, now aren't they?

competitive rose growing; the nervous tics and trowels, the water on the
knee - sometimes even mud! No, it's not a world for the timid!)
