Gardening Quote of the Day

"For winter's rains and ruins are over, And all the season of snows and sins... ...And time remembered is grief forgotten, And frosts are slain and flowers begotten, And in green underwood and cover Blossom by blossom the spring begins. (from Atalanta in Calydon, 1865)"

(Algernon Charles Swinburne, English poet (born 4/5/1837))
