Costa calls me a ‘weed’

Costa calls me a 'weed'

Costa explains what a 'weed' is

Last Thursday I gave a talk at Ultimo Tafe and Costa (the gardener on SBS TV) gave one, too.

Costa warned me that in his talk he was going to call me a name and I shouldn’t take offence at it and wait ’til he explained it.

He called me a ‘weed’.

Ahuh.

He then said something like, “A weed is the first to establish in poor soil.  It puts down strong roots.  Others plants follow after it’s there . . . ” and some more.

Ok.  I like being a weed.

May the weeds be with you,

Michael
