"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

"January is the quietest month in the garden...the soil, open to the sky, absorbs the pure rainfall...earthworms tunnel along, aerating the soil and preparing it to welcome the seeds and bare roots to come."

( -- Rosalie Muller Wright, Editor-in-chief Sunset Magazine)
