"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

"You may drive out Nature with a pitchfork, but she will ever hurry back, to triumph in stealth over your foolish contempt. (from Epistles, Book I, X, 24) "

( -- Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace), Roman poet (born 65 BC))
