Gardening
My Garden
This is my
garden, I'll plant it with care,
Here are the seeds I'll plant in there,
The sun will shine,
The rain will fall,
The seeds will sprout and grow up tall.
A Daffodil
A little yellow
cup,
A little yellow frill,
A little yellow star,
And that's a daffodil.
Gardening adds years to your life and life to your years.
You have to eat a lot of parsley to be an old sage.

Gardening tills the soul
Gardening...just another day at the plant
Gardening: A leisure-time activity involving lots of time and little leisure
Gardening: A labor that begins with daybreak and ends with backbreak.
Gardens are not made by sitting on the shade
. . . Rudyard Kipling
Don't grumble that roses have thorns...
be thankful that thorns have roses!
A Weed is but an unloved Flower
I'm not aging, I just need to be repotted
Never enough thyme!
Beware! Mosquitoes!

When heaven falls to Earth, it becomes a Garden
... Stouffer
The seed is hope; the flower is joy
Should I weed the lawn or say it's a garden?
Some people like to make a little garden out of life
Spring is Nature's way of saying "let's party!"
Sunlight fades, stars appear, garden fairies gather here
There is always music amongst the trees in the garden,
but our hearts must be still to hear it
Though an old man I am but a young gardener . . . Thomas Jefferson
Tickle the earth with a hoe; it will laugh a harvest
To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers
is a delectable form of defeat
. . . Beverly Nichols
A beautiful garden is a work of heart
A garden is a friend you can visit anytime
A rose has thorns only for those who would gather it
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today
All things grow with love
Always remember the beauty of the garden, for there is peace
An addiction to gardening is not all bad
when you consider all the other choices in life

Beware of Snap Dragons
Born to garden - forced to work
Compost . . . because a rind is a terrible thing to waste
Don't hurry, don't worry.
You're only here for a short visit.
So be sure to stop and smell the flowers
Each fairy breath of summer,
as it blows with loveliness,
inspires the blushing rose
Earth laughs in flowers
. . . Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature
Flowers feed the soul
Flowers make life lovelier
For thee, the earth puts forth sweet flowers!
Fortunate are they to whom gardening is a joy.
Friends are like flowers in the garden of life
Garderners are like doctors . . . they both bury their mistakes
Give your weeds an inch and they'll take your yard
Grow where you're planted
Harvest the seeds of love
He who plants a garden plants happiness
He who plants a tree loves others besides himself
Hearts that love are always in bloom
How does my garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells..........
and fertilizer, you idiot
I didn't plant this
I dig gardening
I have a rock garden. Last week three of them died.
I know a little garden close, set thick with lily and red rose,
where I would wander if I might, from dewey morn to dewey night
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.
In the garden, my soul is sunshine
Kind hearts are the garden,
kind thoughts are the root,
kind words are the blossoms,
kind deeds are the fruit.
Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
Like life, few gardens have only flowers
Love blooms where kindness is planted
Love grows here
May all your weeds be wildflowers
Moms Flowers......Dads Weeds
My garden grows with love
My garden peaked last week - sorry you missed it
My garden, My heaven
My husband said if I buy any more perennials he would leave me
- - -gosh I'm going to miss that man!
Nothing is more the child of art than a garden . . .Sir Walter Scott
Old gardeners never die . . . they just go to pot
Old gardeners never die . . . they just go to seed.
Old gardeners never die . . . they just spade away
One day I will burst my bud of calm and blossom into hysteria
One good thing about rutabagas is that they provide something
for turnips to taste better than....
One is nearer to God in a garden than anywhere else on Earth
Plant smiles; grow giggles; harvest love
Scatter seeds of happiness
Scatter seeds of kindness where you may go
The garden is a mirror of the heart
The poetry of the earth is never dead
. . . John Keats
The rustle of the wind reminds us a Fairy is near
To everything there is a season
To grow a little garden is the labor of the ages
. . . Robert Blake
To plant a garden is to believe in the future
We come from the earth,
we return to the earth,
and in between we garden
When the world wearies
and society ceases to satisfy
There is always the garden
... M. Aumonier
When We Love - We Grow
Where but in a garden do summer hours pass so quickly?
Windchimes in your yard will serenade garden creatures...
squirrels, fairies and angels.
You can bury a lot of troubles, digging in the dirt
A rose lives here with an old thorn!
Shhh! Bulbs are resting!
Sunflower
Sunflower,
sunflower, standing straight and tall,
Sunflower, sunflower, you're the tallest flower of them all!
Sunflower, sunflower, when your seeds fall to the ground,
Sunflower, sunflower, by the squirrels they'll be found!
Golden Delicious
Gardeners have the sunniest smiles!

Hi hoe, hi hoe. A gardening I grow.

There are two seasonal diversions that can ease the bite of any winter. One is the January thaw. The other is the seed catalogs.
Despite the gardener's best intentions, nature will improvise.
Zucchini's

Like bunnies, prolific!
Patience in gardening is a necessity, hardly a virtue.
The grass may look greener on the other side but it still has to be mowed!
God's in charge of flowers and seeds and I'm in charge of all the weeds.
Sprinkle seeds
of kindness everywhere.
Make the world a happier place here and there.
Winter, spring, summer, fall. Lord, thank you for them all.
It's been so dry the trees have been whistling for the dogs!
One for the rock, one for the crow, One to die, and one to grow. - English saying
One for the blackbird, one for the crow, One for the cutworm, and one to grow. - American saying
A good gardener always plants 3 seeds...one for the bugs, one for the weather and one for himself.
Many eyes go through the meadows, but few see the flowers.
Abandon your post, and nature will sneak in and steal you blind!
Inch by Inch, row by row, gonna make this crop grow.
Let's get down and dirty
Weeds are our specialty
Five Little Peas
Five little
peas in a pea-pod pressed,
One grew , two grew, and so did all the rest;
They grew...and grew...and did not stop,
Until one day the pod went...POP!
I dig a hole and plant a seed,
Cover it with dirt, and pull a weed.
Down comes the rain, and out comes the sun,
Up grows my plant,
Oh! What fun!
A dedicated gardener dwells within.

A beautiful garden is your reward
for doing God's yard work.

A garden is a friend you can visit any time.
A Gardening We Grow....
(ex: three bears walking with flowers)
A little garden in which to walk and immensity in which to dream.
A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.
All things grow with love.
All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today.
April showers bring May flowers.
An angel belongs in the garden.
~~~
As we come in from the garden at summer's end,
we must harvest and purify our intentions.
We must continue to grow inwardly.

Count your garden by the flowers,
never by the leaves that fall.
Count your days by garden hours,
don't remember clouds at all.
Count your nights by stars, not shadows.
Count your years with smiles, not tears.
Count your blessing, not your troubles.
Count your age by friends, not by years.
