"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

"Pansies, lillies, kingcups, daisies, Let them live upon their praises; Long as there's a sun that sets, Primroses will have their glory, Long as there are violets, They will have a place in story: There is a flower that shall be mine, 'Tis the little Celandine... "

( -- William Wordsworth, English poet)
