"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

"The time to hear bird music is between four and six in the morning. Seven is not too late, but by eight the fine rapture is over; due, I suspect, to the contentment of the inner man that comes with breakfast; a poet should always be hungry or have a lost love. "

( -- Donald Culross Peattie, American botanist, author)
