Dog Gone Gardeners

Dog gone gardeners so long in the tooth. They are planting beans today along with old Ruth. Their overalls are straight, their tails are a wagg’n. By six o’clock tonight, they may both be dragg’n. Dog gone gardeners, their faces are long. They are hoeing up the earth, barking a song. They each have a hankie for the sweat that will drip. Both of them just let a gas bubble rip! Dog gone gardeners, you are in touch with the land. Your radishes and carrots will truly be grand. It is a lot of work, but in August it will be worth the wait. Your vegetables and flowers truly are great!

One of the proudest moments of my life, my daughter and her husband bought their first house and she made him build her boxes so she could plant a garden. I never thought she enjoyed helping me that much, but she said the fresh vegetables were so good she had to start growing her own.

I love it when I see old folks out working in their gardens. The young'ins could take a few lessons from them.

We gardened four hours every morning in the summer time or there was no swimming in the afternoon.
