Swords. In the Garden.

"Deadheading is a most important part of gardening...and I even deadhead my naturalized daffodils so that they do not deteriorate.  I have some old swords and I keep one sharpened for this job.  One can slash off a lot of heads in a very short time."  Margery Fish, 1956, quoted in The Penguin Book of Garden Writing

I want a sword to deadhead with, and I also want enough naturalized daffodils to need it!

(It occurs to me that I'm spending too much time around teenaged males.)
