Gardening: removing the
dead or
wilted
flowers from flowering plants so that the
energy and
resources of the plant will not go into
fruiting but will instead be used to
produce more flowers. A good, useful, constructive thing to do in the summer,
absentmindedly, as you
wander around outside and sing a little tune. A good
tune to use is:
Momma had a baby and its head popped off!
Nothing to do with the Grateful Dead at all, so I won't link it.
