Gardening Quote of the Day

"Growth is a greater mystery than death. All of us can understand failure, we all contain failure and death within us, but not even the successful man can begin to describe the impalpable elations and apprehensions of growth."

(Norman Mailer, American novelist (born 1/21/1923))
