APOLOGIES: THE MASTER DOODLER IS AWAY THIS WEEK. “Now or never,” I warned him. “No gardeners or garden doodlers get holidays after the end of March.” (Kidding.) In HRH Andre Jordan’s absence I’ve gathered some seed-filled doodles, including the one up top, a personal favorite—at least among his tame and tender ones. Enjoy the others I harvested for your pleasure:
I don’t know what Andre was thinking when he drew this doodle (above). I don’t have a problem with seed-shopping, do you?
I turn back to this sunny, hopeful doodle (above) whenever I need a boost. Thanks, Andre, for always being there. (Except for this week. Tee hee.)
I use a dibber to plant my peas and beans and other big seeds (and small bulbs, too), so this somewhat raunchy old doodle (above) came to mind as well when thoughts turned to seeds.
Don’t forget: Since the A Way to Garden redesign, you can navigate (a.k.a. browse) through topics like “doodles by Andre Jordan” image by image (as you can see in the image above). Kind of fun, no? It’s also great when browsing for plants, like all the annuals and perennials or groundcovers or conifers or bulbs or even tomatoes!…just click on anything in that list of “Topics” in the far-left column, and see what colorful little treats reveal themselves.
I love Andre’s doodles and wit as much when they’re ascerbic as when they’re tender-hearted.
Perhaps all gardeners are both nurturers and warriors.
