“I think that places, like people, ought to have boundaries. Who ever said that gardening was a public activity, anyway? Gardening, like making love, feels a lot better than it looks. Nobody buys tickets to gardening competitions. There's no such thing as the Gardening Olympics. There is no gold medal in Speed Weeding or Double Digging. Maybe there should be, but I wouldn't compete in a gardening Olympiad for all the compost in China. I go through ungainly contortions when I garden. I squat. I crawl around on my hands and knees. Most of the time I bend over, upended. That angle may be flattering to a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, but it is not flattering to me.” PrivacyGardeningFences Book:Mrs. Greenthumbs: How I Turned a Boring Yard into a Glorious Garden and How You Can, Too Source: Mrs. Greenthumbs: How I Turned a Boring Yard into a Glorious Garden and How You Can, Too
