Gardening Quote of the Day

"In the dooryard fronting an old farm-house near the white-wash'd palings, Stands the lilac-bush tall-growing with heart-shaped leaves of rich green, with many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love, With every leaf a miracle - and from this bush in the dooryard, With delicate-color'd blossoms and heart-shaped leaves of rich green, A sprig with its flower I break. (from When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd, 1865)"

( -- Walt Whitman, American poet, essayist (born 5/31/1819))
