Plant Management

The M.D. and his gardener stood admiring the borders "How’s business?" Asked the gardener "I hear your loosing orders". "That’s true" replied the M.D. "I’m about to give up hope, All my men are disillusioned and my managers can’t cope. I need someone with new ideas I’ve tried all those I know. But enough of all my problems, how did you make all this grow.?" "The secret of plant management is to start down at the roots." Smiled the gardener as he bent to brush some compost from his boots "It isn’t rocket science, you don’t need to go berserk. Simply take good care of parts that really do the work. You must remove all suckers as they strive for light and power they may look all full of vigour but they never come to flower". The gardener rolled a cigarette and leaned against the fence "Plant management’s not difficult its mostly common sense". "If you want your plant to flourish and produce a bumper crop, don’t just feed the roots manure, prune the dead wood at the top". There’s a message in here somewhere if you analyse the text I think I’ll just sit back and wait to see what happens next
