YOU KNOW ME
BY
Al, Himself
a
Every once in a while we get
magnanimous. This week we are
going to give you some pointers
on how to be an amateur gardener
on a salary of not more than $5,
000 a year. If you do it on less,
you are a professional, which state-
ment settles all arguments as far
as Al, himself is concerned,
First: Even at that salary, you
must forget money when buying
plants, bulbs, seeds, etc., so when
you turn over almost a ten spot
for six flats of flower plants that
will just fill your front garden and
cause persons to stop and say
“a-h-h” long enough so you may
invite them to the back lot, just
forget the ten dollars. Make be-
lieve you were in a poker game
the night before and lost that
amount; or better still, don’t take
your family out to dinner that
week-end and you will actually
have saved the ten dollars.
Those who never play poker, or
never take their family out to
dinner, should join a mechanics’
union of some kind. You will find
they have a pension fund; so with
that and social security you won't
have to worry about saving for
your .old age.
In passing, we could advise you
that if you get a job with a firm
that pensions its workers, then
you are all set to start a garden
on a salary of $5,000 a year. You
see, you could spend every penny
you make, and when you retire
nave three pensions coming in. So,
the first requirement is just as
simple as that.
Second: (this is for men only)
you must have a wife who is not
interested in the garden until it
gets to the ‘“a-h-n” stage. The
“a-h-h” stage is the time that
flowers are blooming, the cabbage
is ready to be cut into cold slaw,
and the corn is ready for supper;
but if the wife wants to join you
while you are planting and sug-
gests this and that, forget the
whole thing—as it can’t be done
even on daylight saving time. You
may have to hire a handy man
to put in screens and satisfy other
wifely demands when the proper
time comes to put in petunias or
tomatoes. That's one thing we
learned very early, Never start a
row of anything that has to be
finished the same night unless all
of the spring housework is done.
Invariably your wife will complain
that you have worked fourteen
hours on the garden (as if four-
teen hours were nothing) and can't
spend ten minutes to put in a
screen (as if anyone could put in
a clean, newly painted screen in
that time). If you do have a wife
that distracts your attention, just
get a job that pays over $5,000
a year, as you'll have to hire extra
help.
Third: (this is for women only)
don’t think you have time to start
a garden unless your husband can
afford a handy man to take care
of your unfinished planting when
you are interrupted to cook supper.
{f there is anything a husband dis-
likes it is to come home to a well-
planned-out garden—and no eats
on the table.
Now, there are persons who may
ask: why spend all this money on
plants? Why not build a cold
frame of your own and hole in
some seeds? Well, we tried that.
We built a frame and sowed seeds
and in the latter part of June had
plants. Then about September 2nd,
just two days before the first frost
at the lake, our plants matured.
So we. decided that ih order to start
a garden with seeds we must have a
hot house. Well, heck, you can
start a garden at the north pole
with a hot house, so we concluded
we would get a job that paid three
pensions on retirement and we
could spend all of our money on
our garden. See how easy it is?
Now, this is our advice: forget
the cost; have a wife that says:
“Oh! well, what's the use? Maybe
