Gardening Quote of the Day

"In 1859 I obtained a very fertile descendant with largy tasty seeds from a first generation hybrid. Since in the following year its progeny retained the desirable characteristics and were uniform, the variety was cultivated in our vegetable garden, and many plants were raised every year up to 1865."

(Gregor Johann Mendel, genetics pioneer (born 7/22/1822))
