What person in their right mind voluntarily goes out for hours on end in order to get dirty, hot, sweaty, burned (wind, me dears, NOT sun), scratched, bitten, stung, blistered (fingers) and end up aching all over?
And yet here we are in love with and possibly addicted to our gardens...out of all proportion to their beauty or usefulness!
Is there any other sport, hobby or activity which causes such bodily discomfort and damage for so little material gain????

| Boring old day lily, but so beautiful while they last. |
| This has a lovely yellow flower, but I can't remember what it is called, apparently I've been calling it the wrong name for years so of course I cannot get the correct name into my head now! |
