The Gardens

There's little risk in becoming overly proud of one's garden because by its very nature is humbling. It has a way of keeping you on your knees. ~ JoAnn Barwick

"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." ~ Abraham Lincoln

"Where you have a plot of land, however small, plant a garden. Staying close to the soil is good for the soul." ~ Spencer W. Kimball

Gardening is a kind of disease. It infects you, you cannot escape it.  When you go visiting, your eyes rove about the garden; you interrupt the serious cocktail drinking because of an irresistible impulse to get up and pull a weed.  ~Lewis Gannit

Gardening requires lots of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. ~Lou Erickson

The only two herbicides we recommend are cultivation and mulching. ~Organic Gardening Magazine
