"For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God..."

Gardening Quote of the Day

"The winter blues will soon be gone. And birds will soon burst forth in song. The Coral Bells will gently ring. The Daphne yells "It's almost Spring!"

( -- M. Garren)
