Gardening 101

Now what you do is you just use seeds - part of story, a phrase, or a just a word to plant.

You mean like tiny? he's so supportive? I'm very lucky?

Exactly - see how easy it is. Now you just throw it out there, sometimes we plant it a little deeper in some places so doesn't get eaten up before rooting.

Then what?

Well compost - ok mostly manure is spread on top. A good thick layer. And maybe a few worms in the mix.

Can't there be too much, I'm mean it could just suffocate everything.

Not for this garden. There's never too much manure

Ok whatever, it just seems like overkill.

Now soon with some bright lights, maybe some artificial heat and some water something always comes up.

How soon? How do you know what your gonna get.

Ah that's where the pros like us come in. You let everything come in and then decide if its need to be weeded it out or tend it more to make it bigger.

Is there stuff that pops up that you don't want?

Of course - we just pull it out and sometimes just slip a prepackage plant in its place.

Smart thinking, I guess.

Hey that's what we do.

What kind of garden is those supposed to be?

It's a show garden of course, something like this doesn't happen on its own. But the beauty of it is that it looks like its natural.

It kind of doesn't look that.

Listen enough people will think this this just happened that's enough. Amateurs of course. The pros know what it takes to get this, and some know it all green thumbs.

And does it spread and grow?

Of course its bright and happy and everything everyone thinks is what a garden should be. So all these birds and bees are attracted to it and they spread for us. No work, they do it all.

What happens if it cross pollinates and turns into something different?

If we like it we work with them, if we don't we just claim it never came from us or ignore it.

And over there? What's that? That yellow rose?

Oh that well that's Jake's little patch. There's nothing we can do with that, that damn shrub won't go, doesn't fade, and never needs pruning. It's always there.

Is that another little bud on it?

Just leave it be, we have too much work to do on the high maintenance one we have. Here just put more, more manure near the side of it, maybe people won't notice.

What the heck? How did this get in here?

What what is it?

Damn Charentais!

Damn what?

Charentais - French melons. I'm going to kill Jake. Oh he thinks if he can sneak that in and no one notices.















Chance the Gardner/Chauncey Gardiner strikes back.



P.S. I've hijacked the music for next few days. Please forgive me Wicked.



Now you can name this tune but can you name the movie? What Jake movie was this song in? You know movie man Austin knows. ; )
