"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

"I find the human propensity to try to "qualify the unqualifiable" intensely interesting, and it is most apparent in the constant debate--may I say squabble?--about plant names. Yet how else can we communicate with each other with some degree of accuracy?"
