"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

"Birders have their 'life lists' of birds seen - it almost seems I have my 'life kill' list with an indirect goal of killing more different kinds of plants than anyone else - and I'm well on my way."

( -- J. C. Raulston, American horticulturist)
