My Collection of Garden Sayings...

Weeds, they know where to grow and how to dupe you.... and how to camoflage themselves among the perfectly respectable plants....
they just know; therefore I've concluded that weeds must have brains. Diane Benson (and ME)

WHEN WEEDING... THE BEST WAY TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEED
AND A VALUABLE PLANT IS TO PULL ON IT.
IF IT COMES OUT EASY- IT"S A VALUABLE PLANT!

I
meant to do my work today,
but a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
and a butterfly flitted across the field,
and all the leaves were calling me.

Gardening: just another day at the plant

Give your weeds an inch and they'll take your yard

Friends are flowers in the garden of life

Kind hearts are the garden,
kind thoughts are the root,
kind words are the blossoms,
kind deeds are the fruit.

Never enough thyme

May all your weeds be wildflowers

Garden of weedin'

Compost . . . because a rind is a terrible thing to waste

The Shortest Path To Heaven Is Through The Garden Gate

Old gardeners never die . . . they just go to seed.

All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today

Bloom where you are planted

We come from the earth,
we return to the earth,
and in between we garden

To everything there is a season

The difference between a flower and a weed is a judgment.

I fought the lawn and the lawn won!

Gardeners know that trees grow on money.

Thyme began in a garden

Patience in gardening is a necessity, hardly a virtue.

Between These Weeds, Flowers Grow

The grass may look greener on the other side but it still has to be mowed!

The philosopher who said that work well done never needs doing over never weeded a garden.

Going to seed without a pot to peat in!

Weed it and Reap!

"If there were nothing else to trouble us,
the fate of the flowers would make us sad."
--John Lancaster Spalding,


Inch by inch
Weeding is a cinch
