"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

"One thing that unites all gardeners as they contemplate the compost heap is a belief in reincarnation, at least for plants."

( -- Geoffrey Charlesworth, American garden writer)
