Spring Gardening Guide

 

 

Some quotes about spring gardening:

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt – Margaret Atwood, Bluebeard’s Egg

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 – Lewis Gantt

You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt.

The best fertilizer for a piece of land is the footprints of its owner – Lyndon B. Johnson

Gardening requires lots of water – most of it in the form of perspiration – Lou Erictson

No winter lasts forever. No spring skips its turn. April is a promise that May is bound to keep. And we know it – Hal Borland

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world – Virgil A. Kraft

Now ’tis spring, and weeds are shallow-rooted;
Suffer them now and they’ll o’ergrow the garden – William Shakespeare, Henry IV

Non-gardener: “Did I just hear thunder?” Gardener: “I hear nitrogen!” –Kay Neff
