"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

"The word May is a perfumed word. It is an illuminated initial. It means youth, love, song, and all that is beautiful in life. (from Journal entry for 1 May 1861)"

( -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, American poet)
