"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

"Yes, in the poor man's garden grow Far more than herbs and flowers- Kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind, And joy for weary hours."

( -- Mary Howitt, English writer, poet (born 3/12/1799))
