Section 1: Gardening Quote of the Day:

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the
soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening.
Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them;
nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light
which comes always to  those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come
true." -- Woodrow Wilson, 28th U.S. President
