Gardening Quote of the Day

"Do you not realize that the whole thing is miraculous? It is exactly as though your were to cut off your wife's leg, stick it in the lawn, and be greeted on the following day by an entirely new woman, sprung from the leg, advancing across the lawn to meet you... "

(Beverley Nichols, British writer, gardener)
