#18 Gardening … By Force If Necessary
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
My wife and I take two radically different approaches to gardening. She negotiates with Mother Nature, trying to find the perfect plants which blend with the environment. I engage in acts of malicious horticulture, using poisons and sharp implements to impose my will upon the earth.
She’s all about free-form creativity and coaxing life from the soil. I’m all about applying the latest in technology.
She’s a from a Venus Flytrap and I’m from … well, oddly enough, there aren’t any plants I can find with Mars in their name.
Maybe that’s why her efforts are so much more successful than mine.
