Gardening Quote of the Day
"The pear is the grandfather of the apple, its poor relation, a fallen aristocrat, the man-at-arms of our domains, which once, in our humid land, lived lonely and lordly, preserving the memory of its prestige by its haughty comportment."( -- Francois Pierre de la Varenne, 17th century French chef, author)
