"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

"When gardening I have one gift, you won't find in manuals. I know it's strange, but I can change, perennials into annuals."

( -- Dick Emmons (printed in the Wall Street Journal))
