Among the more soul-satisfying
suburban activities... |
00:00:05.049 - 00:00:07.882 |
...is that collaboration with nature... |
00:00:08.049 - 00:00:09.846 |
...that brings fragrance
and beauty to the home. ; |
00:00:10.009 - 00:00:12.204 |
Horticulture. |
00:00:12.369 - 00:00:14.280 |
Husbands appreciate their wives'
efforts as they leave for their offices... |
00:00:14.449 - 00:00:18.203 |
...secure in the knowledge
their mates are at home digging... |
00:00:18.369 - 00:00:21.202 |
...rather than in town shopping. |
00:00:21.369 - 00:00:23.599 |
Patience, fortitude and loving care
are rewarded by fragrant blooms... |
00:00:23.849 - 00:00:29.367 |
...sturdy and bursting with colour. |
00:00:30.089 - 00:00:32.762 |
Providing, of course, you have
the proper soil and a green thumb... |
00:00:32.969 - 00:00:36.405 |
...or unless you happen to be
a witch. |
00:00:36.569 - 00:00:41.165 |
To think I'd ever live to see the day
a daughter of mine... |
00:01:38.929 - 00:01:41.648 |
...would be down on her knees
in the dirt digging for onions. |
00:01:41.809 - 00:01:44.926 |
I'm not digging for onions,
I'm planting gladiolas. |
00:01:45.089 - 00:01:48.525 |
- You're making a fool of yourself.
- Oh, now, Mother, don't be so stuffy. |
00:01:48.689 - 00:01:52.921 |
Everybody plants flowers around their
homes. It's part of the scheme of things. |
00:01:53.089 - 00:01:56.764 |
Anyway, it's fun planting seeds and
watching flowers grow in a natural way. |
00:01:56.969 - 00:02:00.882 |
Yes, I saw an exhibition of
that natural growth this morning. |
00:02:01.089 - 00:02:06.083 |
When whosis left for wherever
it is he goes in the morning. |
00:02:06.249 - 00:02:10.925 |
Well, I just didn't want to look
a failure first time at bat. |
00:02:11.209 - 00:02:14.997 |
First time at what? |
00:02:15.209 - 00:02:16.528 |
