LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Gardening not a hobby!

'My personal idea re: gardening is to have my wife head for the grocery store for food'
gardening - hobby
A Whistler local agrees with Pique columnist G.D. Maxwell's recent musings on gardening as a hobby.

I have for many years read [GD Maxwell’s] reports in the Whistler Pique and enjoyed all of them.

Your latest report for summer 2.0 is excellent as regards a hobby (Pique, May 27, “A gardener’s gospel”).

Your description of gardening etc. is absolutely correct!

My personal idea re: gardening is to have my wife head for the grocery store for food—I will be golfing after years of this sport.

Jogging and sailing are definitely out! I have three sons with sailboats who allow me to visit on the ocean.

Weeds to control, soil and vine nutrients and suckers to prune are out.

Worms having sex are definitely out, and not arousing!

As a retired surgeon for many years your weekly columns are a wonderful read. Thank you.
