It's Spring, and time to worry about those droopy daffodils and too-tall tulips. A horticulturalist from New York has a new solution for the home gardener whose bulbs get leggy and fall over- invite them in for cocktails.Or, as one newspaper put it, a jigger of gin makes your daffodils grin. Not too much now; you want to have some left over for yourself.
Whiskey, vodka, and tequila will also work. Actually, I'd use vodka -I've always thought it was better poured on plants than drunk anyway.
Ok, gotta go do some, uh, "gardening"...

Mike, Mike, Mike- you are looking at this way too narrowly.
What other chance are you going to have to write off your liquor store bills as "gardening supplies"?
Or your time at the bar as "horticultural research"?
This is a Golden Opportunity...
drink with the flowers... that sounds like some kind of old movie mob threat. "If I find out Frankie's been talking to the feds, he's gonna be drinking with the flowers."
