Unwritten rules of gardening ... by David Hobson, http://www.gardenhumour.com


The best way to garden is to put on a wide brimmed straw hat and some old clothes. And with a hoe in one hand and a cold drink in the other, tell somebody else where to dig.
Compost is best aged a little like a fine wine. I mean, would you prefer to drink a nice 97, or something that was made last Thursday.
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.
Spring does not arrive until the ice is out of the compost heap.
Winter does not arrive until the ice is IN the compost. Until then, all bets are off.
Any self respecting rock will break at least one shovel before accepting its new home.
A good compost pile should get hot enough to poach an egg, but not so hot it would cook a lobster.
Gardening requires a lot of water most of it in the form of perspiration.
Every garden is unique with a multitude of choices of soils, plants and themes. Finding your garden theme is as easy as seeing what brings a smile to your face.

I received a greeting card once that declared. " No trees was harmed in the making of this card but a few small bushes was hacked."

2. It's important to have a woman, who can make you laugh.
3. It's important to have a woman, who you can trust and who doesn't lie to you.
