Blossom

– I suppose I ought to do something about the garden. It's that time of year, isn't it, when you do things to gardens.
– Some people tend their gardens all year round, perhaps with the exception of the depths of winter.
– I'm sure they do, but I'm afraid my gardening efforts tend to be a bit more haphazard. It rather depends on my busy working schedule. And the weather. And whether I can think of anything more interesting to do.
– You don't seem that dedicated to horticulture?
– I try my best. But it takes time, and expertise, and an ability to tell one plant from another, all of which I am sadly lacking. So I dabble, as best I can, in the hope that I can add a little colour to an otherwise drab garden, and perhaps make the world a slightly more beautiful place.
– And do you?
– Yes and no. Overall it's still pretty drab, but in places a few blossoms manage to survive.
– I suppose it takes time to create a mature garden. Years of nurturing.
– Years? Are you sure? There must be a easier way.
