A Gardener's Diary

My all time favorite show on HGTV was "A Gardener's Diary." The hostess would introduce you to the gardener and both would be wearing long flowing dresses and hats ... it was just all so romantic. This gardener tends to wear men's overalls and a bandanna ... and somehow the romance is absent.

Each gardener in turn would be asked, "What their favorite flower was?" and each would reply, "What is doing well at the time".
For a garden is a play that is always changing ...




The stars are different from week to week ... each flower taking it's turn in the dance.

It's early and the stars of April are the tulips, hyacinth, daffodils and the flowering trees. But this will soon be changing ... Does anyone out there know who the gardener of today's show is?
