"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.)
