Gardening Quote of the Day
"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person..."( -- Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh) Forum Activity
