We sat on the couch on the barn porch. My editor friend stopped by to give me feedback. “I like how you use your gay uncles as a Greek chorus,” he said. Hmm, I didn’t want to look like a hayseed, but I had to say, “I don’t know what you mean by Greek chorus.”
You are so much more than just a garden writer. That's the frame. But it's what's in the picture that makes the difference. And by the way, I'm not buying it that you did not know what a Greek Chorus is.
Your writing (reading Funky Little Flower Farm now) takes me back to growing up in the same area. Feeling the connection to the dirt and the plants are part of me, even as I age. Thanks for bringing it back full force.
What a wonderful metaphor/not-metaphor, Jenks, of the gay uncles. Oh my, we all need a crew like this. And your friend was so sage to liken them to a Greek chorus. Awesome.
I love hearing your stories about growing up and becoming the wonderful person you are today. You are very inspiring to anyone who loves plants and nature.

You’re a lucky person.
Cheers to your wonderful uncles!
You managed to make me laugh and feel wistful, at the same time. Great one, Jenks!
