"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 fair-weather gardener, who will do nothing except when the wind and weather and everything else are favorable, is never master of his craft."

( -- Henry Ellacombe, 19th century British gardener, writer)
