Some quotes from the gardner's Miscellany.....son gave me for christmas.

1. LIFE BEGINS , THE DAY YOU START A GARDEN.
2. Each spring ... a gardening instinct,sure as the sap rising in the trees, stirs within us. We look about and decide to tame another little bit of ground.

3 All my hurts , a garden spade can heal.

4 I have never had so many ideas day after day as when I worked in the garden.

5. Oh, little rose tree, bloom!
Summer is nearly over
