Sitting in my garden

Enjoying the flowers in bloom

Sadly thinking to myself

that this will all be over too soon

What to do.....

Lots of things I think to myself

We can press these flowers

Dry them at that

We can even take some pictures

So that we can share with those that dont have their flowers in bloom

Oh how exciting

The Angels all agreed

So within these pages we are going to do just that

And take you into our Gardens

Just follow me.....

THE GARDENERS HYMN


All things bright and beautiful all creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful the Lord God made them all.

But what he never mentioned, though gardeners know its true, Is when he made the goodies he made the baddies too.

All things spray and squattable, disasters great and small
All things paraquatable the Lord God made them all. The greenfly on the roses, the maggots on the peas Manure that fills our noses, He gave us all of these.

The fungus on the goose-gogs,[gooseberries] the club root on the greens the slugs that eats the lettuce and chews the aubergines.

The drought that kills the fuchias, the frost that nips the buds the rain that drowns the seedlings and blight that hits the spuds.

The midges and mosquitoes, the nettles and the weeds the pigeons in the green stuff and sparrows on the seeds.
The fly that gets the carrots the wasp that eats the plums How black the gardeners outlook though green may be his thumbs.

But still we gardeners labour midst vegetable and flowers and pray what hits our neighbours will shomehow by pass ours!!

Sung to the tune all things bright and beautiful.
