Carol for Gardeners

City Farm Community Garden, Ash Island Hexham

To the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

"Come all you weary gardeners

Don't throw your rakes away

The weeds aren't always thick and high 

The way they are today

Our pumpkins make the sweetest pie

The beans reach to the sky

We've got corn, peas and lettuces

Spinach by the ton

Melons, radish, carrots and some capsicum

Cabbage moths and funguses 

Will always pass us by

There's hoverflies and dragonflies

And ladybugs as well

The garlic spray annoys the pests 

And makes them run away

We have creeping crawly worms, bugs, wasps

Beetles and bees

And never ever aches or muddy knees

We know it is impossible

For choko vines to die

Our tanks will always be full up

The soil will never dry

Magic garden gnomes will work

While we sit idly by

We'll have gardening in comfort and joy

Comfort and Joy

We'll have gardening in comfort and Joy!"
