As I was tending my garden last weekend, it occurred to me that women are like roses: first the flowers fade, then the hips set and thicken 
(canards et chiasse).
keep tending that garden roger!! one of my neighbours got sick of that,
he put down the concrete, and his wife died of cancer.
a woman represents water, a woman represents the earth, our mother earth.
in the dry muyslim countries, women donāt get much respect,
the soil is to dry, thereās no garden to look after.
so look after mother earth, and mother earth will look after you. itās the very same with women
she once might have been the wild rose of morning, now changed into the pale flower of dawning,
like all thatās beautifull 
What a coincidenceā¦I was thinking of men the other day as I tended my tomatoesā¦ they grow fast, then get end-rot before they can be put to good use.
[ducks and runs as well]
youāre a true lesbian scottie, women are the tomatoes
Rest assured, lixnaw: that Iām not. :roll:
{not that thereās a darn thing wrong with those who have any and all other vegetable preferences).
cheers
Yes, but those hips contain all sorts of good things, and can keep you healthy and robust through the long cold winterā¦

Nicely put, Robin; much more graceful (and subtle) than my lame-a** attempt at a riposte.
My roses bloom several times a year. But only if I tend them well.
To quote an old Pennsylvanian Dutchman I used to work with " First sheās a daisy, then sheās a posey , then sheās a horses a** " He was refering to the first date, courtship then marriage. Donāt want to rile anyone, Just quoting an old Jake. I likes vimensfolk lots.
Wait just one darn moment Which is it Roses or Tomatoes!!
Iām sure your a Deaf sailor,standing on on deck saying-----Whats that Lady Shouting about Weigh anchor 
ooh, i was only blackguarding like, iād be better of as a lesbian myself now
From the Journal of Nude Gardening:
āMen may want to avoid the Venus Fly Trap and other carnivorous plants, while weeding, for quite the obvious reasons.ā

Ooooh. Nice analogy.
I assume that tending includes the periodic application of copius quantities of manure.
Women are like Roses; they look nice, smell nice are hard to maintain, attract lots of pests, require ācopious quantities of manureā, and in the end simply take most of my money to aquire and disappear shortly there after.
Women have served all these centuries as looking-glasses providing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man as twice its natural size.
~Virginia Woolf, A Room of Oneās Own, 1929
Ooooo, do tell---- HOW?
Men they are all the same seen one yer seen erm all 
my stepdaughter stacey (same name) is 18 now,
sheās no gorman, but she sure is as bold and cheaky but i love her!!
Well, we do prefer a somewhat different approach to fertilisation.
wombatā¦are you a lassieā¦?
Not at all. Amar, I thought you shared my enthusiasm for fertilisation. No?
