a few seed quotes

"I don't believe the half I hear,
Nor the quarter of what I see!
But I have one faith, sublime and true,
That nothing can shake or slay;
Each spring I firmly believe anew
All the seed catalogs say!"
- Carolyn Wells

In March and in April from morning till night
In sowing and seeding good housewives delight.
- Thomas Tusser

The mere fact that you get a lot of seeds in a packet
doesn't mean you have to plant all of them.
- Henry Mitchell

Kathy - Henry Mitchell's words strike home! I ran out of garden before I ran out out seeds! I'm looking around the rest of the yard wondering where I could plant just one more kernel of corn and whether the neighbors would be offended if I planted a row of corn in the front yard behind the roses or lantana. Perhaps Henry is right!
