"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
"If gardeners will forget a little the phrase, 'watering the plants' and think of watering as a matter of 'watering the earth' under the plants, keeping up its moisture content and gauging its need, the garden will get on very well.
(from Herbs and the Earth, 1935)"( -- Henry Beston (Sheahan), American author (born 6/1/1888))
