"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

"Murphy's Laws of Gardening (with apologies to Mr. Murphy) Other people's tools work only in other people's gardens. Whenever you set out to do anything worthwhile in the garden, something else needs doing first. Fancy gadgets don't work. If nobody uses it, there's a reason. You get the most of what you need the least."

( -- Edward A. Murphy, Jr., USAF engineer)
