"For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God..."

Gardening Quote of the Day

"Lessons from the Farm: 1. Never use cheap seed. 2. The secret of gardening is to prepare the soil. 3. Timing is critical. 4. The plants that hold firmest are the ones that develop their own roots. 5. Excessive watering produces weakness not strength. 6. In spite of your best efforts some plants will die. "
