"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

"It is unchristian to hedge from the sight of others the beauties of nature which it has been our good fortune to create or secure."
