Dave's Quote of the Day

Good morning,
Yesterday I switched Dave's Garden over to some new programming code that I have been working on for several weeks now, and the changes appear, so far, to be working correctly. As you use the site today, please keep in mind that much of the features of the site are entirely re-written from scratch and may contain some hidden bugs that I don't know about yet. Please do let me know of any issues that you find, preferably by posting them in the DG Forum.

One last thing, the Dave's Garden Picture of the Day will not be shown in this edition of the newsletter, but it will most likely be back by tomorrow.

Happy Gardening,
Dave

Gardening Quote of the Day

"Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees."
