For reasons I do not understand this post is best read after pressing "Read More" below.

One of our regular readers (known to us as "Radish") recently sent us a selection of gardening quotes, and as they're rather good, we thought we'ed [sic] pass a few on.  Here goes:

• “Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone” – Jean Jacques Rousseau
• “Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful,’ and sitting in the shade” – Rudyard Kipling,
• “All gardeners know better than other gardeners” - Chinese Proverb
• “A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows”- Doug Larson
• “Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad” - Unknown
• “Money can’t buy happiness. But it can buy plants, and that’s the same thing” - Unknown
• "Plant carrots in January and you’ll never have to eat carrots” - Unknown
• “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
