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)
