Gardener's Jokes

I visited Niagara-on-the-Lake yesterday to Valleybrook - they are growers of perennial plants in the blue pots.  Being the largest perennial grower in Canada, there were millions of plants - as far as one can see.  There was lots of activity moving them out to be transported to garden centres for the launch of summer gardening this weekend. They donate plants to the Grimsby Garden Club's Plant Sale each year.  They allow walk-ins on two days a week, so I can check everything out and take pictures. They give you a map to find things, and at the bottom are many rules - you can only purchase plants with silver stakes, beginning with certain numbers, and nothing at the ends of aisles, as these are plants moving out.  I was able to find something to purchase that was new this year - a miniature Clematis.  Today we celebrate gardeners with garden jokes. There are lots of garden jokes. Some topics seem to accumulate more jokes than others. Along the way I found this surprising fact: Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than for the US Treasury. Here are the gardening jokes selected for today: Q: How excited was the gardener about spring? A: So excited he wet his plants. Q: What do you call a grumpy and short-tempered gardener? A: A Snap Dragon. The manager of the garden centre overhears one of his nurserymen talking to a customer.  'No, we haven't had any of that in ages,' says the nurseryman. 'And I don't know when we'll be getting any more.'  The customer leaves and the manager walks over to give him a telling off. 'Never tell a customer we can't get them something,' he says. 'Whatever they want we can always get it on order and deliver it. D'you understand?'  The nurseryman nods. 'So what did he want?' asks the manager. 'Rain,' replies the nurseryman.   Michael O'Leary was waiting at the bus stop with his friend, Paddy Maguire, when a lorry went by loaded up with rolls of turf.  O'Leary opined, 'I'm gonna do that when I win de lottery, Maguire.' 'What's that, Michael?' responds his mate. 'Send me lawn away to be cut,' concludes O'Leary   For more silly gardening jokes, go to Frankie Flowers website HERE. Here's a joke for Mother's Day this Sunday: A mother mouse and a baby mouse are walking along when suddenly a cat attacks them. The mother mouse shouts “BARK!” and the cat runs away. “See?” the mother mouse says to her baby. “Now do you see why it’s important to learn a foreign language.”
