Gardening Quote of the Day

"...'I don’t rejoice in insects at all,' Alice explained, 'but I can tell you the names of some of them.' ... 'What’s the use of their having names,' the Gnat said, 'if they won’t answer to them?' 'No use to them,' said Alice; 'but it’s useful to the people that name them, I suppose. If not, why do things have names at all?' (from Through the Looking Glass) "

( -- Lewis Carroll, (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), British poet, author; born 1/27/1832)
