I was in a gardening store today--the month of March does that to you. There, in one cozy corner, was a booth type space with a large high label--PLANT ADVICE. And there was a man, definitely past 70, giving out answers to plant and planting questions. (By the way, it didn't even cost 5 cents.) When I asked my question, I found his answer gentle, thorough, and very helpful. To the store's advantage, it even led me to purchase the plant that I had been hesitant about. To his advantage, he may have been getting to use the wisdom he had acquired over many years of gardening. To my advantage, I may have some dill for cooking this year, and I definitely felt a renewed optimism about humankind.
What is your wisdom, and what could you do with it?
The store also demonstrated wisdom in making the gentleman available. I'd love to have the name of the gardening store.
ReplyDeleteIt's Country Fair on Colorado Blvd. near Evans.
ReplyDeleteThis is Denver, folks.
I thought next time when I go in, I will tell the store manager how much I appreciated their choice to have this gentleman and his plant wisdom.
Yeah! Dill! and if you are lucky and leave a few heads on the plants it will go to seed and come up next year. I love reading your blog. Thanks for the stretching and roaring information.
