Gardening Quote of the Day

"THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GARDENING: Thou shalt be patient til it's thyme to garden. Thou shalt be outstanding in thy field. Thou shalt lovingly care for the Earth. Thou shalt weed thy garden diligently. Thou shalt take time to smell the flowers. Thou shalt keep a fresh from the garden attitude. Thou shalt give freely of the bounty of thy harvest. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors soil. Thou shalt listen to your Garden Angels. Thou shalt bloom where you are planted."
