Gardening through Climate Change

So will I show you the Spring: 
With the warmth of the sun
Calendar prediction
Fast growth of green shoots 
Spearing the soil
Arrow flight to the light.

So will I show you:
Protected with wool 
Cloched and tressed up
Planted
To beat onslaught-
A gruelling antidote to 
A month of drought
Monsoon in proportion; 
Leaching of
Mulched beds 
To the bottom of the hill
A stream of minerals 
A hand given from river to sea.
Stripped is the soil
The fangs of the wind to evil intent
Inexorable to growth
Whipped to submission.

So will I explain the gardener in me : 
DNA defined                    Through generations wired; 
Of country estate to
Allotment plot
Stories of bounty 
Or thriving on nothing;
Plantswomen
Not educated but practised  
Endless summers of sun 
And snows in winter.

Now qualifications are mine and technology too 
Yet the weather unfathomable 
To the elements 
I claw at a loss.
