"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

"It is a maxim universally agreed upon in agriculture, that nothing must be done too late; and again, that everything must be done in its proper season; while there is a third precept which reminds us that opportunities lost can never be regained."

( -- Pliny the Elder, 1st century Roman natural historian, scientist)
