"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

"Oh what is so rare as a day in June? Then if ever come perfect days, When heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays... (from "Vision of Sir Launfal") "

( -- James Russell Lowell, American writer)
