Gardening quotes to give you thought ......
Orlando, Winter Park, Mt. Dora, Leesburg, Florida

And so it criticized each flower,
This supercilious seed;
Until it woke one summer hour,
And found itself a weed.
- Mildred Howells, The Different Seed
Concerning the task of weeding ......
But a weed is simply a plant that wants to grow where people want something else.
In blaming nature, people mistake the culprit. Weeds are people's idea, not nature's.

My idea of gardening is to discover something wild
in my wood and weed around it with the utmost care
until it has a chance to grow and spread.
Margaret Bourke-White
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing 'Oh how wonderful' and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out, and start their working lives
By grubbing weeds from garden paths with broken dinner knives.
Rudyard Kipling
A weed is a plant that is not only in the wrong place,
but intends to stay.
Sara Stein
Borrowed from the Gardendigest.com
Sweet flowers are slow and weeds make haste.
William Shakespeare
Gardening is a kind of disease. It infects you, you cannot escape it.
When you go visiting, your eyes rove about the garden; you interrupt the
serious cocktail drinking because of an irresistible impulse to get up and pull a weed.
