"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

"I contend it's a weed because it is extremely invasive (the stuff can grow ten feet overnight), puts out roots to China, can grow under deep mulch (plastic, organic, you name it), and smothers everything in its path. What it can't reach via nasty brittle roots and runners, it reaches through seeds, which it sends up weekly, dispersing them far and wide, to further spread its misery. I can't imagine a more wretched plant in my garden. It has zero ornamental value."

( -- Terry Lea, describing Bermuda grass)
