"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 gardener in his old brown hands Turns over the brown earth, As if he loves and understands The flowers before their birth, The fragile little childish strands He buries in the earth. Like pious children one by one He sets them head by head, And draws the clothes, when all is done, Closely about each head, And leaves his children to sleep on In the one quiet bed."

( -- Arthur Symons, English poet, translator, critic)
