The
July Weeder's Digest came upon me rather suddenly, following on the heels of a
lovely vacation so instead of a Presidents letter, here are some of my favorite
quotes on gardening:
Gardening
is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes. --Author Unknown
Gardens
are a form of autobiography. --Sydney Edison
To
forget how to dig in the earth and tend the soil is to forget ourselves.
--Mahatma Gandhi
The
greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses. --Hanna Rion
Gardening
is about the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling
guilty and generally taking time to soak up a little peace and serenity.
--Lindley Karstens
My
garden is my favorite teacher. --Betsy Canas Garmon
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a
valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a
valuable plant. --Unknown
Don't
forget the bus trip to Van Dusen Gardens on July 14th and the Hovander picnic
on August 11th.
Happy
summer and happy gardening to all.
Linda
