Spring has sprung
and the Desketeer's thoughts are turned to their gardens.
Our video pick of the week is, "Greenfingers". This fictional story is actually based on a 1998 article that appeared in the New York Times. In it, Paula Dietz focused on the true gardening adventures of some British prisoners.
When Colin (Clive Owen) is placed in an expiremental program to finish his prison sentence, he just wants to be left alone. But then he and fellow prisoner Fergus (David Kelly) plant some seeds in the prison yard, he is introduced to a new world and life beyond the prison walls.
The Desketeers have long been aware of the restorative powers of scratching in the dirt and watching things grow. So, even though it is supposed to be cold and rainy, we know that more great gardening weekends are in our future.
Happy Weekend!

Darien gardeners can garden in their own, or the town's backyard. I understand some sunny spots are still available at Cherry Lawn Park. Call Town Hall and ask for Park & Rec. department. I'll be happy to help harvest the crop in August/September. :-)
