Gardening Quote of the Day

"O hemlock-tree! O hemlock-tree! how faithful are thy branches! Green not alone in summer time, But in the winter's frost and rime! O hemlock-tree! O hemlock-tree! how faithful are thy branches! (traditional German Christmas carol 'O Tannenbaum')"

(Author unknown; translated by Longfellow)
