"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'd like to sow the barren spots with all the flowers of earth. To leave a path where those who come should find but gentle mirth... (from The Gentle Gardener)"

( -- Edgar A. Guest, American poet (born 8/20/1881))
