"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 wonder if the poppy shows The slightest envy of the rose? Or if the pansy wastes its time Regretting that it cannot climb? (from "Envy")"

( -- Edgar A. Guest, American poet)
