Thought for the day...

Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them. ~A. A. Milne (Winnie the Pooh)

It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

Plant carrots in January and you'll never have to eat carrots. ~Author Unknown

It is utterly forbidden to be half-hearted about gardening. You have got to love your garden whether you like it or not. ~W.C. Sellar & R.J. Yeatman, Garden Rubbish, 1936

It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to. ~Annie Gottlier

Science, or para-science, tells us that geraniums bloom better if they are spoken to. But a kind word every now and then is really quite enough. Too much attention, like too much feeding, and weeding and hoeing, inhibits and embarrasses them. ~Victoria Glendinning
