Gardening Quote of the Day

"The pear is the grandfather of the apple, its poor relation, a fallen aristocrat, the man-at-arms of our domains, which once, in our humid land, lived lonely and lordly, preserving the memory of its prestige by its haughty comportment."

( -- Francois Pierre de la Varenne, 17th century French chef, author)
