Section 1: Gardening Quote of the Day:

"I remember my first t'mater...yep...there I was, my eyeballs bulging out
and watching as my t'materholding hand brought this freshly-picked "sphere
of unknown" towards my face...I just KNEW(!) it had something to offer
me...the redish/pinkishness, the bouquet, the texture in my
hand...THEN(!)it came closer...closer...as my mouth opened wide the taste
buds on my tongue were wishing they could holler out loud in
anticipation(!)...the 'mater approached steadily and as my eyes closed in
readiness to let the rest of my body fulfill the enjoyment, there it
was!!!...the fragrance was under my nose(!), the mater in my mouth(!), the
juice running down my chin(!)...I would've been in 7th heaven for a bit
longer whilst enjoying the moment except...except...except the last of the
mater had splashed up on my forehead,... and my tongue nearly slapped my
brains out trying to lick the last of that wonderful piece of fruit and
savor the flavor for just a milli-second longer. I declare..ain't nuthin'
like it." - Dave's Garden member Horseshoe
